Eric and Craig,
A sailboat would be a hybrid if it has an auxiliary engine.

Well stated!

Its going to take a long time for the reliability of an electric/solar boat to come anywhere close to that of a well-proven diesel design, and because things are moving so quickly in the world of electric vehicles - I suspect the depreciation is going to be unprecedented... but I think its great that they are being built and I will watch it with interest.

Greetings,
Mr. NS. I agree. Sittin' in the shade with a line out watching the world go by would not happen on this boat.

I was looking at Yachtworld this morning and came across this Ed Monk designed raised pilot house listing:
1982 Sunnfjord Pilothouse Trawler Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com
The Left Coast guys might be quite familiar with them. Anyone with some words of wisdom on Sunnfjord Yachts?

It might be nice if you were planing to stay tied to the dock. The wheelhouse is nice and bright, dash is a mess but that's minor. The propane heater is bad news, and installed in the wrong place. Heaters need to be down low in the boat, otherwise they just heat the ceiling.

If I had that kind of money, I would charter instead. After all, if you have a boat like that, it comes with a crew. So, if you're just going to be a passenger (albeit in charge), why own it.
