Unknown boat type - help needed

[DownWest]

It just occured to me, that using an outboard of the back of a 20 odd ft boat is not something that an inexperienced yachty would want to do, esp if the weather is bumpy. In a well, OK, but hanging off the transom, give him quite a lot of extra work that he does not need in the conditions, apart from the prop coming out of the water every wave. Done that, in the Alderney Race in the night, and it was in a well, but very bumpy, F7.

What were you doing in the Alderney Race in F 7!

What they're trying to tell the OP is that if you turned it out like a new Hallberg Rassy the thing will still go to weather like a brick privvy. The old saying 'You can't polish a turd' springs to mind ... :encouragement:

Just noticed your Q.. Missed the tide to get into the Harbour, so spent a lot of the night standing still against the current.
