This little make and model is trying to steal my heart

. Need common sense advise from all you power/trawler/cruisers out there. I really love the model with the stabilizing sail but is she really seaworthy or is that a gimmick? This is my first boat. Reading all your posts has helped me immensely and I will so appreciate your input now.
For info on what I want her for see the September thread on trawlers in this section begun by me. Thanks

i met a guy in cuba about 12 yrs ago who had a small gb trawler w/ a "stabilizing" sail. he said he could pick up an extra 1/2 kt with the right wind conditions. as far as stabilizing goes, i think it's a possibility but wouldn't bet the farm on it (maybe it would keep your nose to the wind better at anchor??).

the sabre is a fine boat...my wife is in love with the 47, but...............
