Sail repairs, Yearly maintenance, 300nm sail and a NEW BOAT? What??www.sailingnandji.com
In this episode, we notice that the sunbrella on the headsail had been coming loose. With the biggest sail loft in the world just down the road, we take off the head sail for some simple repairs. Putting it straight to work, we set sail 300 nautical miles to the boat yard where we haul out Nandji for a world record hardstand. After sitting in the water for a year and a half, Nandji's butt resembled a reef system. If she sell's tomorrow or in three months time, the bottom needs to be done!
As we are actively boat shopping, we spied an Amel Mango on the market in the marina. Even though the broker was on the other side of the country, we manage to get the keys and have an inspection for ourselves. A beautiful boat and a sailboat that could be our next vessel!!

Amels are awesome, but this may not be the one for you. One of the first things would be upgrades to the electronics,, lithium,,, new water maker,, all expensive stuff. And you still wouldn't have the third cabin, nor proper shower. Keep looking,, don't give up! Luvya! 💖

Has to feel different if it's your home as well. Best of luck with selling Nandji and also in finding your next home. We look forward to more adventures.

[@CruisingMeraki]

Exciting journey ahead! Hope you find a perfect boat to grow with you.

[@shreksswamp9001]

Guys, if you want to know how the downwind sailing goes, just watch some of SV Delos's videos. They have set up their whisker poles and sailed for days comfortably in the right winds with little rolling. They are indeed beautiful boats. A big fat school bus of a boat yes, but that is what you want if you want to travel in safety and comfort. Oh and they can actually move too, when you want them too. Providing you've got the wind that is.

[@pamelarw58]

Nandji is getting a face or bottom lift, hard yakka Yosh....I love that you are not a short cut guy & very thorough improving Sale offers? Good luck finding your new home, have a very safe & healthy festive season! 💖🌞🎄🎉🍻

[@garyevans5905]

Your videos are always interesting and full of great content. In MHO , the mono hull that would suit you both would be the Oceanis 45 to 50 ft range. 2 heads , full shower , + 3 cabins and they blue water cruisers. Thanks for sharing your videos with us.

Hi, busy watching your way to Thailand on Open HD South Africa. Was touched by your emotions of the robbery on Nanji while you overnighted on the island, and decided to subscribe. Sorry about your money and equipment loss that goes along with the frustration of nothing will come of that investigation. Sail safe, God Bless the 3 of you🙏😇

[@EricMeury-qb6ni]

hello. Former Amel owner here (amel Santorin) they are fantastic boats for sure. We moved to a Garcia passoa 50, take a look at an Ovni.

[@janebarrow2714]

Good luck in your search for a perfect boat....enjoy your video. One day I would like to go on a sailboat....on my bucket list, not around the world but, in a bay or close enough to see a beach on the ocean.....you are so very brave in a your endeavors!

[@koehl405]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks

[@highvibe4839]

Hi Yosh and Bonita, find that boat with three berths, your shower room Bonita, and one where your not working your arses off for too long, you will come across it, I know you will. Yosh wasn’t lighting up with the Amel at all, you need to feel the right vibe.. Your own castle! 😅😅 best wishes.

[@robertnixon3816]

Just continue to look. After a while they all kind of blend together but when you find the one it will stand out. You are very smart to weigh the amount of work needed as when the length of a boat increases so does the cost of everything. Its a fine balance. Your thoughts Yosh on doing work on Nandji sums it up why whoever buys her will get a fine yacht!

[@Sommers234]

What a lovely couple and I adore your accents

[@28ft]

Wow! For two young Aussie hipsters you have come aloooong way. Very inspirational. At 51ft you definitely want 3 cabins and a shower. Keep looking and don’t compromise on what you want because you’ll only regret it later. So cool!

[@28ft]

@sailingnandji - when I say hipsters, what I mean is…..a couple of young, shy, intelligent kids just looking to live life on their own terms without making waves for anyone else while keeping the peace close to heart but gently and methodically sharing the joys and true purpose of life to those whom they pass by.

[@Cutlass-27-Mallorca]

If she is old, check for OSMOSIS, for sure she as some, go for a Beneteau Oceanis with two wheel cockpit, they have a really big cockpit and lots of room down under, easy access for engine work, and no osmosis, they have vinelester resin.

[@ablemarine9072]

That is a Beauty! However, the maramu has the shower stall and additional cabin you prefer! Amels are truly a prestigious and proven vessel. The price point for that vessel seems reasonable and with all the standing rig being new, that's a temptation for sure! Nanji has been good to you and as well You have been the same to Her! That's a tough one for sure. However, you have family needs too. May you all have a wonderful Christmas and always be Blessed! You are an Awesome Couple. Keep Smiling, Love Life, and fair winds Always

[@oceancrossingutopia]

You are getting a Delos! 🌊⛵️

[@bryonensminger7462]

As far as the bed gos you could fill the underneath city the stuff you don't use much and cut you a peice.of 3/4 inch plywood and cut some foam to fit it and make it one huge bed up there

[@kyladavenport2812]

I always like the idea of a do up

[@K_R_W]

Good luck on selling and the search of a new home.

[@georgemoore7196]

Ah, now Malaysia again! Welcome home! :-)

[@JayPerrypersonal]

Guys you can fit a shower and curtain like in the Super Maramu easily to a Mango very easily. As for the downwind sailing setup it’s makes it possible for a mono to sail dead downwind. The twin pole setup and twin head sails with the balooner is the same on our boat it works fantastic. Keep a look out I personally know where there is an Amel Super Maramu close to the price of that Mango, in Greece there are 2 Super Maramu’s for sale I know both boats personally.

[@TexasHomesteaders]

I agree with you on the shower issue. Hope you find what you are looking for.

[@daled8221]

Awesome boat, but I'm glad you're being smart about it! You definitely don't want buyers remorse at this stage & price. Rootin for you!!!

[@evtzaras1]

get a hold of Brian from Delos, he knows that boat inside and out!!!

[@leejones5508]

Merry Christmas

[@JayPerrypersonal]

Mango a great boat guys. Our friends on Disa have just done the Arc plus in their Mango. We have a Super Maramu and the Mango though older is still a great boat that at time of design was definitely ahead of its time. Solid boats, you won’t go wrong with a well maintained Amel. ⛵️😀 SV PAOMIA

[@calmauric8218]

Hope you guys find something soon!

[@The_Life_Shoequatic]

You can check out SV delos. They go over the use of their whisker pole in a couple of episodes.

[@johnperry7534]

Good luck mate selling the Boat we found the most annoying is people who want to open every bloody cupboard on the boat on their first look, nosy people with no money are the most annoying .

[@JimJocrusin]

Original and still working means that the systems were top shelf. For instance the original 34 year old FW water pump on our Amel is still in great shape as are the original furling systems. Compare that with changing modern pumps every 3 years or so. The price on this Mango however seems high since for another 50K you might be able to get a Super Maramu. Best of luck with your boat shopping.

[@stevemajic2958]

Thanks so much for the tip on the blinkist app! Just downloaded it! You guys are always awesome!

[@budawang77]

I almost bought a Mango a couple of years ago. Absolutely gorgeous boat but we just missed out. In hindsight, it probably wouldn't have been for us as it was bigger than we needed and would have been too expensive to maintain. One issue with Amels is that they have a lot of cool features to make them easy to sail like multiple electric winches and extra rigging. While this is good, it means more work and money is required to keep everything running. In the end for the same money we bought a Westerly 43 which was 12 years younger and a better choice for us as a couple. But boy, Amels are cool boats and I can understand why their owners are so passionate about them.

[@Ron-zr6se]

There are plenty of boats around in Malaysia and Thailand. Having a growing family means a bigger boat in the 50' - 60' foot range. Oyster and Nautor Swan are proven blue water take you anywhere boats. All the best in finding your 'new' to you sailing home.

[@wolfgangkoniger3292]

Try to have a look on the dynamique 52 located in Langkawi. Maybe an opportunity for half the money.... With showerroom and kept very simple.

[@marktracey387]

New Stc wind gauge $1500,..rebuild main engine ,no change out of at least $5000,,New injector pump ..$2500,...bilge pumps and float switches $1500..and the list goes on .keep looking ,I am sure you are both over refitting while you cruise .I have spent over 40 grand refitting Mary Lee so I don't have those problems to deal with .Best regards and keep up the good work 🙂👍⛵

[@johnjaco5544]

Good luck

[@marktracey387]

Keep looking Nandjis, a lot of gear will need to be replaced ..eg STC wind gauge

[@paulcollins9197]

Very nice

[@garywheble4534]

In the Amel you could do what SV Del lose did turn the sea bunks in the pasagway to the master cabin into an extra room by adding a door and you will have a room like Nuget does in Del Lose think there's an episode showing the conversion

[@AustinBoil]

[@darrellpeters8039]

Fixing up Nandji the RIGHT way to sell her is integrity mate! That's the way!

[@trafynnaf1]

there's a nice 2003 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49 in Royal Langkawi Yacht Club for sale

[@doradosurfcharters]

If you gonna hang round Asia just get a cheap production cat heaps of room and the waters are relatively calm there and 2 engines is always nice cause there is lots of motoring as you know 🤙

[@bryonensminger7462]

She looks like she's got a lot if deck space and a lot of room below decks as well

[@leesol99]

Good decision. Pass on that boat. Way too much money. Don't be in a hurry. Be diligent. Look at everything. You're going to be surprised by the boat you eventually buy. Right now you think you want one thing but as you take your time and look at lots of options you will refine your criteria and find the right boat. My guess is it's not what you are thinking it is right now. You have the experience to know what you need and what you want. You will know it when you see it. If it doesn't feel right move on quick, lots of boats to see.

[@stephenkillick5812]

In my personal opinion, it would be the height of Bad JuJu to set sail under one name and to dock under a new name. If you decide on a new name as soon I as you take possession, there can be no bad JuJu involved especially if you hold an initial renaming ceremony.

[@HuldraX.]

The Mango is still better than a Lagoon 450! Why not look at small older Privilege cats around 42 ft? Solid as! You'll be hard pressed to find 3 cabins under 50 ft in a mono. A few that come to mind are the Nauticat 42 and 43, Oyster and a few of the Moodys. You ofcourse have the charter versions of modern flimsy French monos but I wouldn't go bluewater in those with my family. Best of luck!

[@fairwind8222]

The money gets up there but look at a island packet 485 and a nauticat 42, the nauti has three different cabins, one of them is a three birth , perfect for family

[@kennyandersen7349]

Looks a lot lige SV Delos😮

[@just_keep_shootin]

If you need help in Thailand I live here in Phuket. Looks like you are at Chalong port about 5 minutes from my house. Try octopus they might be able to sew it

[@kenwillcut5640]

SV Delos is an Amel. Reach out to Brian for some feed back.

[@metalheadmike774]

I'm so envious of you guys. Especially because it's so cold here now. I just love the water. Cobalt Boat builder for years. I love the water. Best wishes..☺️

[@nhojcam]

Amel's are a great buy IF buying used. New prices on them preclude much value for buyers. They are extremely well made, but not worth the $'s. Used, on the other hand, they are awesome. Maybe consider a used Leopard cat?

[@leonaessens4399]

Are you considering the possibility of a cat? They are ideal for families, more floor space for "crawlers", three or four cabins, not great going upwind (trimarans do that much better) but nevertheless acceptable. Etc.

[@beazleteats4031]

Much as the Amel mango is spacious, Yosh is right, you're buying an old boat with old problems. To not even have dry shower space on a boat that size is crazy...I've seen lovely conversions where this has been done...also the lack of defined cabins isn't great. If I were you, I'd buy a "younger" boat (albeit smaller) for less money and know you're getting reliability.

[@MrBlurbman]

Amel is a great choice especially for a family but perhaps just not this one. Keep looking, your new home will find you sooner or later. I can't think of any couple more deserving.

[@carltontweedle5724]

love is hard when it comes to a boat or the wife.

[@Rouge_7]

Yes, that boat is beautiful. BUT, with everything being OG, things will only break when you're in the middle of nowhere with miles to go the get to ANY serviceable land.

[@fritzk9118]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@scottd8108]

What about something like a Dufour Gibb Sea 43? Old school solid with new school width and interior design - usually not too pricey either?

[@julesmoto9022]

Not sure how old that boat is but my view is if a boat is 10 years old the systems may not be any more reliable than one that is 20 or 30 years except maybe for the engine depending on hours. Are there two heads? If so convert one to a shower. Don't be afraid to make a low offer. No harm in trying.

[@goldierides9481]

I think mono huls with 3 roomy cabins like the two on the Amel are rare. I suppose a charter built boat may have them. Sounds like a cat may be easier to meet that criteria.

[@bobgeldof1038]

I'm surprised you guys arent looking at some catamarans ...

[@sasfish1966]

the boat on the first pic of your video is an Amel super maramu 53. Are you guys looking at that one or the mango in Lamut?

[@andreatkinson4869]

I'm drunk take me with a grain of salt,y'all rock

[@HazelHammond1505]

You'll find the boat that's right for your family. just like looking for a house. there's no difference. it all takes time.

[@davidc6510]

Hello Legends! The Amel's are pretty sweet. The center cockpit and tons of storage below are a big plus. However 51 foot is a whole lot of boat to maintain especially for an older boat with a lot of hours on the engine and generator. I don't know if you are going to get 3 cabins on anything less than 50 feet long. Even SV Delos which is larger than the mango only had 2 main cabins, a pass through cabin and berth opposite of the saloon table seating area and they would sail with 7 adults. The cabin that you saw was too small actually should have a board that converts the entire berth into a large Queen/king bed. Best of luck on finding your next boat and a quick sale on Nandji. Thanks for sharing. Yew!

[@EricMeury-qb6ni]

Mango an and SM (delos) ar the same size and hull. The rear cabin is virtually the same in the mango and the SM

Have you ever considered a catamaran? You're pretty close to Island Spirits maybe they have something that suits you.

[@craigme4683]

For that price you'd get a nice big cat...

[@PaulBartomioli]

Have you contacted Brian @SV Delos about his Amel?

[@yachticus]

dont want to break your heart but the AMEL's have a mass of engineering systems on board - Josh would spend the rest of his life trying to get it back to ship shape - never mind improving it - you will need serious $$$ to make her good again

[@HuldraX.]

I think there's 2 sides of this coin. I would agree that an Amel's potential maintenance costs are high given the complexity of her systems. I'm not sure I would recomnend an Amel for people with an average income AND a house. If however you take the house part out of the equation (being full-time liveaboards) my advice would be: go for it! You'd be hard pressed to find a better bluewater platform for a family. Those systems you mention are the envy of most offshore cruisers!

[@hanssolo4ever]

Pass on the Amel, not enough money have been spent on on upgrades to justify that price.

[@davidbarry2372]

Maybe 120K would buy her, never know till you ask

[@chickendanny]
