Well on this point I guess I'll broaden the discussion somewhat to bring up catamarans. A cat will combine the best of both sail and power boats. She won't heel in the wind, and will go faster than a comparable sized monohull but she'll harness the wind instead of relying on engine power.
Yep the best of both I say. Bill and I plan on circumnavigating in a couple of years. That'll be the test.

I quite agree and was surprised to see that she didn't have a small
steadying sail. They can really work quite well.
