I have motorsailed quite a bit when winds are light or contrary and find that
the motion of the boat is calmed and that I usually gain at least half a
knot....not to mention that fuel consumption decreases. I once crossed Lake
Michigan -12 hours- motor sailing with a 6 knot breeze off my stern...and the
fuel gauge never moved. The sails stayed full...speed was 6.2 k.Life was
good...Spencer Johnson 84 LF 38 "Alegria"Racine, WI
