Motorsail vessels are a combination that brings out the worst of
both motor and sail. Either get a pure sailing vessel like Cut the
Mustard or get a trawler. Any sailboat with a big diesel and a
fixed, three-blade prop is a slowcoach and a poor compromise.

That being said, once one admits his motorsailer is not a real
sailboat one can then take advantage of the virtues of a motor
boat and suffer the degradation to a real sailboat such virtues
cause.

HEY watch yer mouth. I said I love to have it, not dumb enough to buy
it or any trawler. Only an all around, all weather, steady reliable
vessel suits my needs. That is why a Motor Sailing Vessel is far
superior to all others, including your blue water vessel.
