Hi,
You mentioned Mike Curtis' boat Swefn so I thought I'd post a photo of said boat and put in a plug for the DCA at the same time.



You'll see Mike is now using an e-propulsion electric outboard.
Almost silent, No smell, No Fuel.

I have recently bought a second-hand Torqueedo from a friend and think it's great.
I don't have the cut away and it will fight with the rudder if you're not careful.

They are much more powerful than the cheaper trolling motors and don't require big lead acid batteries but they are expensive compared to a petrol o/b,  everything's a compromise.

The graphic is for one of our backdrops at the RYA Dinghy Show 24-25 Feb.
This year we are focusing on Women Skippers with three of our intrepid ladies showing off their boats.
No Morbics I'm afraid, maybe next year.  
Come and say hi if you are at the show.
Regards
Graham.
