When we went out earlier this month, I was constantly amazed by the motor yachts running to the next stop. There seemed to be an essential difference in motive between the motor yacht and the sailing yacht. The difference is not so much the boat itself, but in the entire of idea of why you are out on the water. In sailing, you must understand the wind, the tides, the weather and how to take best advantage of all of these to go in the direction you might want to go. These are not as important when you have power generated by a large diesel engine.
For a sailboat, there is an entirely different idea of getting anywhere. It is about the trip - not as much about the destination.
