[PUP] PPM- Stability & Comfor

[Ross Anderson]

No perfect solution but I would still use a "Wing" with enough HP to
power at 5 kts and also to provide charging for batteries. I carry a
steading sail on communications/crows nest mast but mainly for rest at
anchor, would need a 40 kt breeze and tilting the globe to use it for
anything else. .God Bless - Ross - 10&2
