T&T: Steadying sail

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Yes,  well, that's what these boats were designed as... motorsailers!  

Have  a good winter!

> A 75 sq. ft. sail used in a 15 KT following wind should  contribute 2  
1/2 to 3 HP to the propulsion of your boat. That should  account for  
the gain in speed. But then you no longer have a boat with  a  
steadying sail. You have a motorsailer. ;-)
