Well, we have both, though we have been solely sail in the distant past. We use the trawler as a "summer cottage" that's movable (if fuel is relatively less expensive, we move it more often and farther) and when we just hang out on it on the mooring in our home harbor, we go sailing if the breeze beckons.
Wow, This is a great idea. Years ago I had an Eddy&Duff Stonehorse a 23' Cutter designed in the 30's by Sam Crooker.* The best sailing boat I ever owned. Very seaworthy but too small to seriously cruise more than a few days. Be cool to have one for daysailing and keep "Adagio"*as our home away from home.***Happy New Year*** John and Miri**- "Adagio"
