they realize that a sailboat will never be a motor-
boat because of something called *hull speed*?

Hokay...

Let's suppose you're becalmed in the Sargasso Sea & are being
ineluctably drawn towards what looks suspiciously like a vegetative
whirlpool "event" - **** whether it looks "cool" or not, just fire the
motor up & get the hell out - dOOd!..
