OUR NEW AMEL

Callisto is our second Amel sailboat. Our first, also called Callisto, was a Super Maramu 2000 Hull # 369 delivered in La Rochelle, France in June of 2002. Our plan initially, was to retire in 2004 and circumnavigate on this very excellent yacht. I brought the boat back to Southern California, where we reside, through the Panama Canal in 2002 and 2003 when it became evident that family and work commitments would not allow us to leave at that time. When the new Amel 54 was launched in 2005, I was introduced to it by Joel Potter, the Amel agent for the USA and I new that my prize for working an extra few years was going to be the new model. The original Callisto was therefore sold in January, 2006 and the next day I put down a deposit on the new Callisto
