I have sailed Hobies a number of times, but have since built my own inflatable sailing catamaran that is of similar size to the Getaway (~5 meters in length).
I live in Israel and launch on the beach in Tel Aviv, which I find challenging to say the least. Especially since I am at times sailing solo. When I launch wave height is approximately 0.4-0.5 meters and the wind is blowing from the NW (into the shore).
I was wondering if adding a ~30lb electric trolling motor would help get me going, or is it no match for the waves/current?
Thanks
