Re: Watkins 36C For A Circumnav

I can't help you much with the Watkins. Except a quick search show the Sail Area to Displacement is 12.83, if that is correct I wouldn't expect it to sail much in lighter winds. To give you an idea...

Re: Boats Less Than $30K Recent Noteworthy Finds

I went around the world in a Alberg 30, 9000lb boat. Powered by a 6hp outboard. It was good enough for the Panama Canal at 5.2kts. 13hp should be fine.
