It's all about maximizing living space for a given nameplate length. My preference is for the one on the right at 23' vs the one on the left at...

It'll work in calm wind/seas/currents. At least until it doesn't. Can make for great positioning control at least. If you're happy going along at...
You can't tell me what to do. If I want an electric boat it's my God-given right as an American to buy an electric boat.
Chain already bulges enough. Could use pulleys liked those used in chain hoists if you can find a source.

You're clearly a far more experienced, and far better sailor than I. You also have more time to spend sailing. Like many, I have a day job and...
About half the time I cross my local river bar there isn't enough wind there to sail, and there can still be a decent swell and current requiring...
Very nice! And the price is very good too. I agree that it's important to have power for safety in many situations, like crossing a river bar.
