Sounds great


Any suggestions for other tests, details or data?

Regards,


Don't want to sound like I am from 'the Dark side' but
but motoring and motor sailing stats would also be interesting

Most trailerable multies have gutless little 8hp numbers
you are lucky if they give you 8kts

They are ok bloody efficient motor sailing but..

My ideal Multi will sail easily at 15kts+ and motor
at the same if need be

just be nice to have that option

This would be handy for those windless days
and bar crossings at some stage in the future

There are some areas where you can only sail
2 hrs either side of the tide and at other times
you are forced to motor down the channell

I have set my tri up so I can have two motors
one on a bracket and one in a well

Hope to do a few experiments at some stage this summer

8Hp on the bracket 15-25hp in the well
20hp on the bracket 30 in the well
8hp on the bracket 40hp in the well

Want to see if I can get it on the plane motoring
with only adding the extra weight of one crew member

Theoretically if I can get 15kts in calm water
and good manouverability you'd be able to smack
your way quickly through the heads while avoiding
breaking waves

bar crossing are a Long way off as
sailing is always the first priority

All the best for Tuesday and I just can't wait to see a HarryProa
Sailing in the Coastal Classic

Carrying on up to Cape Reinga and coming back down
the West Coast demonstrate a capsize recovery
and finish with a nasty bar crossing in through
either the Kaipara, Manukau, or Kawhia heads.

To be put back on the trailer in under 5 minutes
Some time in the Future

Regards

Matt
