{"id":619,"count":0,"description":"Amel is represented in these listings by two classic bluewater designs that illustrate the marque\u2019s emphasis on robust construction and offshore capability. The Amel Sharki example referenced retains its 1980 factory appointments and, in this case, has been professionally modified with an integrated sugar scoop stern that increases LOA by approximately two feet. That particular Sharki also carries twin furling headsails\u2014an owner-installed sail plan enhancement noted for serious passage-making\u2014and has undergone an owner-led refurbishment intended to preserve Henri Amel\u2019s original vision while adding contemporary, practical upgrades.\r\n\r\nThe Amel Maramu 46 is documented here as a production model built in France between 1978 and 1989, with a total of 288 hulls constructed. The Maramu 46 was designed by Henri Amel in collaboration with Jacques Carteau and is characterized in the listing material as engineered for long-distance cruising with a focus on safety, strength and ease of handling suitable for shorthanded or singlehanded sailing. Construction details cited include roughly one-inch hull thickness, an encapsulated keel and a skeg-mounted rudder.\r\n\r\nInterior arrangements described for the Maramu 46 in the listings emphasize practical liveaboard and passagemaking accommodations: a two-cabin layout finished largely in mahogany with solid teak flooring, two private staterooms each with its own head and shower, and convertible settees in the salon that can serve as secure sea berths. The forward cabin can be set up as two singles or converted to a large double; the aft cabin includes a large double berth, a settee and a vanity\/desk. The L-shaped galley with substantial storage includes a washer\/dryer mounted under the galley sink, and the navigation station is sited to starboard aft of the salon.\r\n\r\nSystems and condition notes from the listings indicate diesel propulsion with relatively low hours on the Maramu shown, sails described as in good condition on that vessel, and the presence of ample water and fuel capacity along with multiple power generation and charging systems. The combined descriptions reflect Amel\u2019s established reputation in these listings for seaworthy, solidly built yachts intended for extended offshore voyaging.","link":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/brand\/amel\/","name":"Amel","slug":"amel","taxonomy":"brand","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand\/619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/brand"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reference?brand=619"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yachts-for-sale?brand=619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
