[PUP] motor sailing vessels

[Robert STRAGHAN]

I looked into cats, and in the end decided on a Diesel Duck 46-2. After a 
bit more thinking and discussions with Bill Kimley of Seahorse decided to 
spring for the first 46-2 with a motorsailer rig.

The boat is to hit the water in July or Aug and performace under sail is yet 
to be seen, however the hope is that the sail rig will provide both 
stabilisation, get home power, and added propulsion. Given a breeze, the 
intended running mode is engine ticking over and sails up, however in 
no/little wind conditions I can motor along nicely. Best of both worlds? - 
we shall see
