The goal was to break the speed record. Too bad one of the engines leaked oil, so they had to cancel the attempt... Cheers! Remco |

I agree, but the only power boats I like are tugs. I like them because
they're working boats. Ones like this would be fine for the time it takes to resell it. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Joe" wrote in message ups.com... Well most do...But Id love to have this one. http://www.peterkehoe.com/The_World.htm Joe |
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.

Suck fuel, that is. About 150 gallons an hour.

I have to disagree with you slightly. Powerboats don't suck. But sometimes
powerboaters suck. They figure if they have a drivers license, then they know how to operate a boat. On average a sailboater knows more about boat handling and seamanship than the average powerboater. My favorite cruising ground can best be accessed by powerboat. Although I have cruised it with a sailboat (Catalina 320) I have charted large powerboats the past two times. I like powerboats, too. The size and comfort are nice. The noise while underway is annoying. Lonny -- Enjoy my new sailing web site http://sail247.com "Joe" wrote in message ups.com...
