    It's not something I'd want, but it's an interesting concept. The wide open space wouldn't work here in the rainy Pacific Northwest, but somewhere warm...


    (What happened to this thread the last time you posted it? Were the links to that other site a problem?)

    I can answer to that, the first post was just a link to another boat forum and therefore deleted.

    Hard(er) to control trolling speed with sails and to maneuver to land a fish. I see boom furling which would speed up the process of dropping sails, getting the motor going and starting the song and dance, but it would be pretty busy..... But with a nice constant wind the trolling would be pretty peaceful.
