      I’m building from plans, not kit and currently on bulkheads but soon will be cutting stern for the rudder.

      In the videos Kit mentioned she cut the transom a bit lower since the owners were going to keep a Torqeedo on it. Presumably off set a bit so it can be raised, rudder attached and sail. I’ll be getting the same motor but don’t think I’ll mind taking it off and on. I won’t be leaving it on while moored and also want to get good at rowing. The motor will just be a third power option when wind dies down and I don’t want to paddle all the way back.

      Anyone here using an outboard on theirs and have any recommendations?

      As I thought, the motor might be an issue for the traveler. Anyone using an outboard and come up with a solution?

      I’m thinking my only option to be able to sail with motor mounted would be to go boomless, not have a traveler and move the block each time I come around like Roger Barnes does in his videos.

      Open to suggestions
