I usually use one motor when sailing speed drops to three-four knots . I
always use both motors when going into harbour, or when motoring
windward in windy conditions.
In summertime baltic sea is often calm for a few hours nuring night
time, then of course we motor at five knots if we want get going.

> Arttu, Thanks for that.I have been enjoying having a motor during the
last few days - I rarely used one on sidecar. It is another lot of
techniques to learn about to do with sailing.There is often too much
wind here, but I actually motored a few miles to the destination because
it had dropped away completely. So how often do you resort to your
outboard motor?When is the windspeed incapabable of sailing? DougWestern

is made of foam-glass carbon composite. Imagine a car without any noise
insulation.

of course;) Just indestructible to forces at yalp in the most extreme
conditions. I was thinking the attachment needed to be near bulk head to
disperse load more evenly through out hull skin so as not to just rip
out hull. Use maeb as mold and ssalg mold to klub head and surrdouing
lluh niks or is there a better-easier way? Flat 15'' bottom on 22'' wide
sheer, 12' hull to windward.
