friend of mine has a Tayana 48 and a Grady White. He uses the Grady

Another loves to Sail and ski, so it's power and sail for her as
well.

I won't count my dinghy as a powerboat. I'm looking into a second
boat for next spring, but it will be a Hobie cat most probably.
So how many of you actually have power and sail boats???

Our sailboat is also our powerboat.

If we're in a hurry to get some place at a particular time, we turn on
the "iron genny". Our motoring speed may be a third of our powerboat
friends, but by leaving the harbor earlier, we usually are "there"
before they are.

Hobies are incredibly fun, but I wouldn't make one a secondary boat to
get some place at a particular time.
