Hate to tell you this, but the winner Wild Oats, is definitely equipped with power operated winches.

I'm pretty sure the canting keelers are allowed powered winches also.

AFAIK autopilots aren't allowed during fully crewed races. I don't think powered winches should be allowed in fully crewed races either. To me the boats should be powered by the wind and human beings...

Well, yes. I don't think they should be using anything other than wind and crew power to sail the boat. Communications etc can be electric or whatever they like, but the actual sailing of the boat...

Directly or indirectly, the engines are attached to the keels. The engines are what make the keels move.

So what if we design a different shape of "keel" (that looks a bit like a propellor) and...

Alan, they run the motor the whole time. I expect they run it even when it's not needed, in case they need to tack or gybe suddenly. How much diesel do you think it would require to run a small...
