with Morgan O/Is and Gulfstars to know to not even bother trying to make headway by sail to windward in these pigs.
These are examples of dock condos , created similar to many TT.Volume was the design goal.
Ocean was never part of the design concept , nor windward sailing.
Great for living aboard and going to a protected anchorage on a very nice day, or cruising protected waters like the ICW.
A real motor sailor is a far more capable vessel than either of these condos with masts..
Just as a Nordhaven is able to leave the dock while a TT will be looking to double the lines and add fenders.
While the silence of sail is an attraction for some , the unlimited range , as well as a higher assured passage speed is the attraction for others.
A motor boat has to be very special for 4000mn range , no big deal with sails.And no $12.00 an hour fuel bill.
The downside to a MS is that much of the vessels living space is below deck.
The big window ocean view is reserved usually for only the pilot house , not a couple of decks worth.
One interesting aspect of a MS is thaht low power gives good speed.
Just as a trawler would not be operated at WOT for a cruise , the use of poorer sail configurations gives good results.
While the "racers" will be lining the rail looking for the last .0001 a cruiser will unroll a mainsail , and a window shade jib and at 75% of the sail area do just fine on a passage. Some are electrically furled for the lazier folks.
, made 2 mistakes.
