Not sure why I thought of this. Apologies to anyone thinking I was looking at a boat already built.
I'd like a small sailing yacht, but I don't relish the long hauls at displacement-speeds, getting to where the sailing's good.
I'm time-poor, and fairly cash-poor; not so much that I've begun looking at the MacGregor 26, but it's a persuasive concept.
Is there a way to incorporate 25 knot speeds under plenty of outboard power, with reasonable sailing performance?
Or do the requirements for a fast power-cat, preclude use for sailing?
Cat hulls look simple enough to multi-task, so why haven't I seen a motor-sailing catamaran which really motors?
