Sure, you should be able to manage without an
engine but why throw an ace out of your deck if you don't need to?

Only reason I can think of would be a testosterone deficit such as Neal's,
requiring you to demonstrate you're a "real sailor."

It was a stupid, weak-willed, incomprehensible move, turning back because
the engine quit.

Oh, poor baby claims to be sailing around the world and just can't even get
out of port without an engine. Worse yet, he knows NOTHING about engines or
anything else. He spends a lot of time on the Internet troubleshooting
various simple things with his cadre of support people. Seems he has no
technical know-how. Clueless when it comes to boat systems.

And, worse than that even is he doesn't even know how to sail. He claims he
was motoring into a headwind leaving port. Then his engine that had just
been repaired quits again. So he turns around and beats into the wind for an
hour or two headed back to port until a tow arrives. Huh! The wind was
apparently going both directions at the same time. You idiots reading his
blog don't even notice the discrepancy. What else does little snot-nose make
up?

Zac is a loser. A spoiled brat trying and failing to do something better
left to men.
