YEA -- before i got a tug-boat for the reasons you just
described ; i'd put an electric motor & battery on it.

Still remember the first tack i did on a prindle 16 in 3-5mph
wind ; had to reverse the rudder to BACK her around, and
absolutely Hated it.

I won't add more because the thread said Best 16 foot Cat
for 20 knots, & has no dagger boards ; but he also said
he's new to sailing, and that means he'll be sailing in
light wind a lot, and daggerboards make that easier.

No need to Bash - it's just an opinion and i ain't trying
to sell him anything ; & won't come back to this Thread.
