After three months and 2,000 nautical miles of sailing from La Rochelle, France, to Gran Canaria, the owner of an Amel 50 reports on the vessel's performance and design features.10:38 The protected cockpit, which can be fully enclosed for weather protection, stands out as a primary benefit for offshore sailing.2:00 The boat features a dedicated, spacious engine room with centralized access to the watermaker, generator, and pumps, which the owner notes is superior to the cramped engine access found on many other production yachts.4:40 Extensive storage capacity, including a dedicated sail locker and under-floor compartments, accommodates gear and sails efficiently.7:44

Design drawbacks include vibrating standing backstays that resonate through the hull when sailing downwind, and cockpit drainage scuppers that create acoustic resonance at certain heel angles.0:14 The composite steering wheel produces audible vibrations, and the steering system requires significant physical effort due to the dual-rudder configuration and cable friction.3:56 Minor leaks in a hatch and a joint were repaired by an authorized dealer in Cascais, Portugal.14:43 The vessel provides high levels of thermal and acoustic insulation, maintaining interior comfort in cold conditions.13:36
