A friend of mine has done several Atlantic crossings. He says that
you can plan on motoring about 2/3s of the way across if you hope
to get across in a reasonable amount of time. Sailing is not as
much of a panacea as some think.

From reading the posts, it appears as if the day sailors
are the ones saying they seldom use their motors. The
cruising sailors have a better grip on cruising realities.
