Hey stupid! Ever hear of cruising under sail? I guess not. Typical
chauvinist motorheads are too ignorant to think of sailboats as other
than the guy who has the right of way and that ****es them off royally
knowing they have to give way in spite of their large motors which take
the place of their small penises.

What's the matter Capt Neil, you seem a bit cranky today. Trouble
with the engine or did you just get waked by a mega yacht?

One of the interesting things about cruising under power is the number
of sailboats you encounter that assume the right away when *they* are
under power, and then get all huffy about it when given 5 short toots
on the air horn. I'm sure you'd never do anything that unseamanlike.

Put it this way. I use my engine so little that I bought stock in Pri-D.
http://www.solareagle.com/pri.html On the other hand, I've gone
through three sets of working sails. There has only been a rare occasion
when I'm running the diesel and I'm smart enough to realize I'm a
motorboat in that case. But, being smart I always set my course so the
other vessel has me on their starboard bow in a crossing situation. So,
they are the give way vessel anyway. Ya gotta use your noggin!
