My old stew is now chef on MitSeaAh and from what he said, she rarely sails.

Option and redundancy would be my guess. It's good to have both.

Maybe they like waterskiing, 
but this was too small for them!

We understand that she is running well under power. Can somebody find an adequate picture of her sailing seriously?

I said: "Seriously". In the same wind that she's motoring 22 knots on the first picture.

Hi Teenna. I surely might have predicted this lack of sailing capability. I wrote on another thread posting about this vessel, " As I look back over this posting I almost feel the need to apologize for the negative overtones I’ve conveyed on MITseaAH. On the contrary, I really appreciate the efforts of her creators to solve the problems and produce a very unique new yacht. I can only hope the next time they are presented such a challenge, that they give some consideration to the catamaran vessel form." http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/10889-post3.html http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/10516-post1.html
On another forum I posted this subject matter,; Monohull verses Multihull powersailers / motorsailers http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4499 |

i gotta agree with Kevin, if there's wind, and you got a mast and sails then USE THEM.

| MitSeaAh For Sale
I see where this yacht is now for sale. I wonder who can afford her fuel bill with the current state of things, and the coming escalation.
There was discussion of her fuel usage here: http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/ge...-mitseaah.html | |

I can see the point of motoring a fast M/S. The yacht is mainly used as a Motoryacht, getting from A to B at speed, The owner previously had M/Ys and is used to the way they operate. On the other hand there are times when he justs wants to go nowhere in particular, perhaps getting some sun, with quests, a few drinks, unspoilt by the sound of diesels, sails billowing in the freshening breeze, no speed demon, but comfortable.
