People sail downwind, that's fast. And when they turn
head to wind they get tired of beating to weather and they
turn on the motors. They always motor in the last stretch,
to charge the batteries, and pull down the sails early.

What the charter companies want is your money. If you can anchor,
and motor a bit, then you can take out one of their boats.

ever see anyone on a charter that wasn't motoring 95% to 100% of the time?

Except for the flogging charter boat sails take when someone tries for
half an
hour "to sail", charter boat sails are still brand new when the boat comes
out
of service.

Charter boat sailing is to sailing as sitting on a park bench is to
motorcycle
riding.
