1986 Amel Mango

The 1986 Amel Mango is a 53-foot fiberglass ketch built for extended cruising. This hull carries the design legacy of the Amel line—a boat engineered for ocean passages and long-term living aboard. The ketch rig provides the flexibility and control valued in offshore sailing, while the hull form and construction reflect the builder's focus on seaworthiness and durability.

The boat is powered by diesel and has been maintained as a working cruising platform rather than a showpiece. Systems and mechanical components have received attention and upgrades over time, supporting the boat's role as a live-aboard home. The design prioritizes functionality and reliability for independent voyaging, with the accommodations and layout arranged around extended time at sea.
