Trawlers aren't motorsailers, anyway not with the standards I've used to.
Schionning on the other hand has a quite nice range of sailing cats, from what's more a racer like to proper ocean cruisers and motorsailers and almost everything btw.

Click on sail for endeavourcat, they are motorsailers

First pic endevour motorsaler
2nd pic Pescott whitehaven cruising cat

I wouldnt consider any schionning to be a motor sailer, they can happily sail at windspeed up to about 15 knots+

This thread has had some very interesting points
and i am rather glad that i read it
i firmly believe that a proper sailing cat still makes for a very efficient motor cat even without mast or sails
same motion and very light on fuel at 10 knots

here are the underbridge shapes from HELL

i didn't know whether i should laugh or cry - so i did both

farkit i cant believe it

go to schionning - that is proper design

If you're 20 you need one 20 year old.

If you're 40 you need 2 twenty year olds

if you're 60 you should go for 3 twenty year olds.

It's not for what you think.
It's so they can do stuff you're too old to do

Couldn't agree more
A motorsailer can do it's hull speed with sails or motoring.
A trawler, cat or mono, with some rags hanging on top doesn't make it a motorsailer.
