Spinnaker Tips & Are Electric Motors Practical?

Getting around the “Graveyard of the Atlantic,” Cape Hatteras, was a non-event. The wind filled in and we had an awesome run into the Chesapeake. We talk about whether or not electric motors like Sailing Uma and Top Secret use(d) are really practical for the average cruising boat. Also, flying the spinnaker doesn’t need to be stressful. We offer a few tips for flying the kite on our Leopard 46 catamaran. Also, Megan makes tortillas and offers taco tips!
