Im looking at trying to pick up a Manta 19, but I was wondering about the feasibility of installing a small diesel with a sail-drive. I am much happier looking after and running diesels than outboards!

Has anyone done anything like this? Or is there not the space?

All the best

It is quite obvious in this image.

With this I mean that it is difficult to mount an engine with saildrive. It would be possible, but not worth the effort in my opinion, to put a shaft engine.
