Before you ditch your engine - although it's a great
idea - it might be prudent to mention that there are
certain parts of the world where having an engine
running when entering port is mandatory for sailing
vessels.
Likewise in VTS areas (aka traffic separation zones)
- it's mandatory to cross the lanes at right angles
- which, according to Murphy's Law, just might require
the assistance of an engine to achieve that heading.
But it ain't just a matter of 'the rules' - the idea
of swinging a yuloh around as the bow of a 20 knot
container ship approaches .... that scenario might
result in the need for a change of underwear at the
very least ...
