New to sailing

by NickG » 10 Sep 2016, 10:30

Hi all I have recently bought a gp14 with everything needed to get out on the water. However by the title I have obviously zero sailing experience. I have 2 small daughters and from watching videos online of the boat and sailors I am reluctant to take them in it using the sail etc. My question is do you think it is possible to put a small outboard on the back so I can take them out and it be abit safer. If so do you have any tips on what to look for and how to mount it ?

Many thanks

Nick
