I cruised one season in Maine on my 41' cat. 2 vertical daggerboards, 2 vertical rudders and 2 sail drives. Some places I couldn't actually get between the lobster buoys and had to straddle some! (Hurricane Island area) Drug a few pots out of position a few times, made the 'wrong' match between buoy and toggle buoy one day while reefed and running in 15-20 knots. THAT was an interesting challenge! Resorted to a knife but felt very little remorse for the working man's gear. (they have no compassion for us 'yachties') More remorse for possibly keeping a pot 'fishing' indefinitely but as I understand it, the practice is often to lay down a string of pots with a buoy on either end so probably the gear wasn't lost) It DID keep me from coming back a 2nd season as I just couldn't face the hassle. I'd cruise Maine in an engineless full keeler but modern appendages don't seem compatible.
