[PCW] Catamaran MotorSailer with DynaRig

[Grahame Shannon]

Hi Brian,

I must say I am very impressed by your Dynarig motorsailer design, Clearly
you have put a lot of thought into it.  My only reservations are about the
weight and windage when not in use, but you have obviously thought about
those issues.

I don't see why a Dynarig boat could not use conventional furling gear just
ahead of the mast. There would be quite a large number of sail control lines
which I assume could go down inside the mast, and I imagine the loadings
would not be too heavy.

Congratulations on your brilliant work. I hope you can get someone to build
one!

Kind Regards,
