[PUP] 103.00 oil solution

[Robert STRAGHAN]

My solution to the price of fuel is to mount a motorsailer rig on my new
Diesel Duck 462. I am the first Duck motorsailer built by Seahorse and should
take delivery in 2 months. I suspect that the operating paradigm will be to
keep the 135 Hp Deere ticking over at max torque/economy, and use the sails
for both stabalisation and propulsion.

When I was first thinking about this almost 2 years ago, the consensus from
TWL was that fuel is a small component of the overall cost, and don't bother
spending money on the rig.  Granted wind is not free, however time will tell
if the rig was a wise decision. I suspect so.
