Or not warmed up enough to put in gear? If the sail is drawing you have to treat it as a sailboat. (And yes, I've seen a sailboat powering into the wind with the sail luffing, insisting the he has right of way over other sailboats!) Motor running power boat. Not warm enough engine? Same could be said for any motor driven boat. Oh really??? Is it that common for "motor driven boats" to deliberately leave a slip or mooring before the engine is warmed up? Actually, yes. I see it all the time. I had a Mercedes industrial tractor that need half an hour, full throttle under load, to fully warm up. It would produce near full power when pretty cold, fortunately. Casady |
