Sailing a boat takes far more skill than driving a motor boat -IMHO

To safely operate either requires skill. There may be different skills
involved at different times but neither is somehow a "superior" skill.
Only the amateurs of either mode claim superiority.

You will not find professional mariners of either mode making the type
of ignorant statements regularly espoused by Nil.

Nil's comments prove my point very clearly. He is merely a pedantic
dilettante who lacks both skill and experience.
