Default Engines on sailboats, When? When Not?

I thought about that to, but I gave up the idea when my mind started
to run hot thinking about what to call a sail sailingboat with the
engine running or a motor motoring boat with sails or even a motor
motoring boat that had cracked more sail on, and .... well I gave it
up.

By the way, what is with the rubber bands, that works for you?

Hmmm. . . .Even better would be motor motoring and sail sailing. The

first
is the same as wearing a belt and suspenders. For example running

the
internal diesel engine with the external outboard or adding rubber

bands.
The second is defined as 'cracking on more sail.'

Works for me.

Since you're the only authority on the subject I appeal to you to

swap
the meaning of the words, so that motoring will be motoring and
sailing will be sailing:

Motorsailing would be sailing with motor assistance and

Sailmotoring
would be motoring with the additional use of sail.

If we could agree on this, we would all know exactly what we were
doing.

the Motor Assists the sail. I made all that up just now though.
