I have shifted a 30 tonne 70 foot canal butty with a 2hp seagull strapped to an Avon
no current or wind though
of course outboards never shift displacement boats of any type

You could probably tow it with nearly anything if no current - albeit slowly. I would be more worried about steering and stopping it.

Ah I get it now. You've found one haven't you. They'll make you give it back.

Too late! They've removed them from the container.

Or what rig would be the most efficient? Sloop or ketch? Cutter? Gaff-rigged or junk?
Doesn't need to be able to sail upwind well. Just need to get to the nearest secret cove downwind to offload the cargo, far away from HMRC, as quickly and as inconspicuously as possible.

Pah! Foiled again........though it is very tempting and why do you have to hand it over the MCA. What happened to salvage rites??

Given the state of the container. Probably Junk.
