| I usually end up with the other problem.  Ready to take a cruise and the wind is blowing 4 kts on the nose.  Sometimes I wonder if a motor-sailer is a better choice.  But for now, I love my Tartan.  Every year I get 2 or 3 compliments from sailors when they happen along the dock.  Once I was pulling into a slip after an 8 hour motor-sail and as I approached my assigned transient slip slowly, a guy on another transient boat yelled over "Tartan 37... beautiful boat."   That was when I misjudged my turn and ended up stopped in my slip 3 feet from the dock and 3 ft from the mid-post with no dock mate to catch a line.  Duh. _________________
