[quote=gahamby]Yea, I thought $500 was a little steep too. I'm not really in the market for a motor. I also kinda hate the idea of putting a gas outboard on my cat. Getting away from the ramp at some launch sites around here is a pain so I think about it from time to time. At one ramp I can paddle to a sand bar to hoist or lower sail. At another one the ramp basin is unforgiving. I'm considering a small anchor so I can paddle or drift clear, drop the hook, and then hoist or lower sail. I've had to paddle dead into a stiff breeze a couple of times. A SC 15 has a surprising amount of windage under bare poles. As the new electrics mature something more cat friendly might develop and the price might come down. Until then, I've got a paddle. GH[/quote]
