You can tell Wally has sailed very little.

I am but a sweet, innocent, fresh-faced n00b.


I know of several boats
that sail from my area without motors, including a J29, J24 and a
R19. My friend's Lightening has no motor. I sailed by Catalina 27
with no motor for a week while the tank was cleaned and hoses
replaced.

I wasn't advocating the use of a motor for anything below 9mph. Rather,
gaining some experience in lighter air would allow Ed to extend his
enjoyment. We sail in and out of the slip whenever the wind is favourable.
