[Alberg30] Small Diesels

[John Bailey]

I've been reading alot of Pardey, Hiscock, and watching Jean-du-sud.  All advocate very small or no engine.  I was wondering if anyone has experience with very small diesels on an Alberg 30.  What are the drawbacks or the good things about a small diesel in our size boat.  I have a 15 hp. Universal diesel and it seems to be plenty of engine.  Of course I sail the entire season on about a gallon of diesel.  Once out of the marina proper, which is about 5-10 minutes, the sails go up.  Any comments would be appreciated.
