Having spent more than my fair share of time in the belly of a very capable sailboat listening to the engine grinding away, this is one of my favorite topics (sail boats using their motors too much) to rant about.
99% of my sailing has been on boats without any motor of any kind. (the one exception being a friend's 36 footer; and the only time the engine was used was docking it).
It's nice feeling when you realize you have the skill to beat up a narrow channel and bring a boat to the dock under sail alone... without wrecking it!
