I may be wrong, but I would be surprised if it exists in a mono-hull. My
father purchased a Klepper Master at a Chicago boat show many decades ago. It purported to be both a motor boat and a sail boat. It did neither well. The broad flat run at the stern which is necessary for planing resulted in a huge wake and total lack of speed under sail. The construction wasn't adequate for a motor which would get it up onto a plane. We had some fun with it, but even Kool boats would sail rings around it. Roger http://home.insightbb.com/~derbyrm "Robert or Karen Swarts" wrote in message ... Is anyone aware of a boat, or plans for a boat, that would encompass light weight (1500lb), trailability, 16 - 22 ft, able to plane at high speed on a relatively small motor (15-25 mph on 25-50 hp), cabin to accommodate two people for at least weekends, and still be sailable? I realized it wouldn't excel at any of these tasks, but I am curious to know if such a do-all boat exists. Bob Swarts |
