About Annie M

<p>ANNIE M&nbsp;is a custom-built Amel 52 ketch, based on the legendary Amel Mango hull and comprehensively transformed over the past twenty years into a modern, highly capable bluewater passagemaker. Acquired by her current owners with the intention of serious offshore cruising, the yacht has been thoughtfully and systematically rebuilt, structurally, mechanically, and cosmetically, to meet contemporary expectations for safety, comfort, and long-range reliability. Beginning with her robust hull, most bulkheads have been reinforced with Sapele overlay and freshly tabbed to the hull in the style of the newer Amel yachts. Tankage, electrical systems, rigging, and onboard systems have been renewed or upgraded throughout, reflecting an uncompromising approach to offshore preparation.</p><p><br></p><p>Her proven ketch rig, protected center cockpit, and well-balanced hull form deliver the seakindly motion, redundancy, and heavy-weather confidence for which Amel yachts are renowned. Below decks,&nbsp;ANNIE M&nbsp;offers a warm, secure, and intelligently reconfigured two-cabin layout, with a beautiful custom-built salon table, fully rebuilt galley with Corian countertops and modern refrigeration, new heads and plumbing, upgraded climate control, and carefully executed joinery throughout. Systems accessibility, redundancy, and serviceability remain central to her design, underscored by a complete ABYC-compliant rewire, modern Victron power management, upgraded navigation electronics, new rigging and sails, and numerous safety enhancements.&nbsp;</p><p>The result is a yacht that retains the core virtues that made Henri Amel’s designs legendary, strength, offshore competence, and conservative engineering, while benefiting from decades of knowledgeable ownership and continuous investment. A competitor in the 2022 Vic-Maui Yacht Race, ANNIE M is a proven ocean-going design, extensively refit and fully prepared for extended passagemaking and comfortable cruising.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Highlights:&nbsp;</p><p><em>From 2022 to 2025, over $100,000 was spent on electronic updates and maintenance.&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>All standing and running rigging was replaced in 2020 by Brion Toss Yacht Riggers at a cost of over $50,000.</em></p><p><em>Andersen electric halyard winch</em></p><p><em>Electric headsail furling and Strong Track low friction luff tracks for mainsail and mizzen</em></p><p><em>Full offshore sail inventory</em></p><p><em>Complete Furuno electronics suite including new doppler radar</em></p><p><em>Climma and Marine Air air conditioning/reverse cycle heat throughout</em></p><p><em>Fully rebuilt galley including modern drawer refrigerator/freezers</em></p><p><em>Fully rewired to ABYC standards with electrical plans available</em></p><p><em>Victron Quattro inverter/charger (2025) and Blue Sea Systems distribution panels</em></p><p><em>Perkins 4-236 diesel engine (remanufactured engine installed 2008) with Max Prop feathering propeller</em></p><p><em>Mase 7.9kw AC generator (2022)</em></p><p><em>Side Power bow thruster&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>Lofrans anchor windlass with Rocna 40 (88 lb) anchor</em></p><p><em>Solid stainless lifelines surrounding the deck (2” higher than standard)</em></p><p><em>Offshore safety gear: liferaft (2022), ditch bag, medical kit, drogue, rigging cutters</em></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Accommodations</strong></p><p>The Amel 52 is known for its robust construction, thoughtful ergonomics, and practical offshore layout.
