There is only ONE reason for a motor
on a sailboat and that is when there is no wind.

Here are other reasons to run a motor...real sailors with proper engines only
of course!

1) Compromised rig
A real sailor rigs a jury rig.

2) Injury aboard
A real sailor prevents any and all injuries.

3) Charge batteries
A real sailor uses non-polluting photovoltaics.

4) Run engine to protect it from non-use.
Hah ah a ha hh ah ! That's the stupidest thing you have ever written!

5) Leaving slips or marinas that are overcrowded.
A real sailor sails as long as there is wind.

6) Aid to anchoring
A real sailor anchors under sail and sails his anchors out.

7) Make hot water.
A real sailor uses the sun to heat his water.

You sure revealed yourself as a dependent-upon-foreign-oil,
typical, liberal lubber with your list of reasons. You should be
ashamed of yourself.
