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.

Why do you think it brings out the worst in both motor and sail?
I believe it brings out the best of both. Nothing wrong with a rock steady 8kt on any point of the compass. Most times the main is just above idle and you can not hear. If the wind is above 15 knots than I can make hull speed without main assist. I know the alure of pure sail and the benifits of no prop drag. But due to my current career and the high cost off communications I do not have the luxary of unscheduled trips. |

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 |

Priorities, priorities! A vessel without a shower that sails well is preferable to a vessel with a shower that sails poorly but motors well while making hot water.
