Hello,
Mill Cr which flows into Worton Cr and  then into upper Chesapeake bay (on east side) .The creek has a narrow channel along the bank with only 2 or 2 1/2 feet at high tide in the channel.  the rest of the creek is a mud flat with barely enough water for a canoe.   I have a TT720 which I motor out at high tide and sometimes even then if wind has been blowing for a while out of north the water is out of creek and I can't get out !
 
I am planning on building a 12 m Harryproa in part due to the shallow draft.  It may have to sit on a mud flat at low tide as it may be to wide to make it up the channel to the dock.
 
You can see the area on Mapquest search for Kasota road, Chestertown, MD

PS; I will start a new trread on DL for electric drive for Harryproa's

Can't be that hard - give me a map location and I'll see if I can see it.

But what do you do if you have to go a half mile out a small protected creek with no wind and no room to tack to get to open water ?

Yeah! Or just use the wind to go sailing instead. Why would you want a battery on board?
Radio? Don't need one.

Hello,
The hard Bimini would be a great place for a solar panel !  You could use it to charge a battery and have a small electric auxiliary motor.
