Advantages of the sailing fishing boat.
The following are advantages of the sailing fishing boat in comparison to the Conventional fishing boats:
• The sails can be used to stabilize the boat from pitching and rolling violently in stormy weather, unlike a conventional fishing boat. Because the wind blows against the sails to drive it forward and the boat heels over to one side, it does not rock from side to side, as does a conventional fishing boat.
• A sailing boat does not pitch as much as a conventional fishing boat because of its sharp bow and racked stern. The boat is designed that it parts the water at the bow and closes the water at the stern. There is no wake following a sailing boat and this proves there is no loss of horsepower.
• A sailing boat is the safest boat in the world. It cannot capsize and if it runs out of diesel, it can always be sails back to the harbor. The weight of the keel always keeps the boat upright and stops it from being blown sideways.
• A sailboat is not slow, as is always implied. It has a motor just like a conventional fishing boat and is more streamlined and needs less horsepower.
• A sailing fishing boat is much more “bad weather friendly” than a conventional fishing boat. The reason being that when the sails are up, the wind heals the boat over in the direction away from the wind, irrespective of course, and lifts its high side (Gunnel) to the on coming seas which prevents the waves splashing over the deck, because the power of the waves hits under the belly of the boat and causes no harm.
• When you are trawling for Tuna and looking for fish under sail, there is no motor running and there are no vibrations through the hull to frighten the fish. You will thus catch the fish sooner.
• The boat can be used for fishing, cargo carrying, charter or cruising all with wind power.
