Thanks for the comments on and off list to my post I intended to title "motorsailers". To Bob, email me and I'll give you directions to find this place. To Mark, I commissioned Malcolm Tennant to design hulls and apendages to my size/weight/speed requirements. In fairness to Malcolm, the responsibility for construction, styling and other details rests with me. Without mentioning specific geopolitcal events, I feel the economics of having sailpower will be looking much different in the near future. Heron's sale was an economic decision; the choice to go strictly power was a choice to do something different after a series of sailing cats and tris.
