*IF* you spend less that 50% of the time with the engine running, then
you
either sail in an area with fantastic breezes, or you may be
overestimating
the time that you are running under sail alone.

Huh?

I suppose that it deprnds on the type of sailing that you do. If you
usually race, then you won't use an engine much.

OTOH, if you sail a 30something footer, and you cruise, then you will use
the engine a lot.

See my answer to Scott.
