SAILING Without Engine Is a Recipe for DISASTER

In this video, I will explain why sailing without an engine can be a recipe for disaster. It's important to have a reliable engine to ensure your safety while sailing around the world. Don't put yourself in a risky situation - make sure you have the proper equipment before setting out on the water. Manny illusions about electric engines in sailboats are made from influencers not being transparent. Sailing around the world with fully electric, unreliable, or without an engine is possible but it is not very intelligent. I am not talking about racing boats or island hopping but the real deal actually going around the world. I have been towing so many sailors who have been in need of assistance. Anywhere from close to ending up on reefs with the environmental disaster, such a situation would cause yet they pretend to be living sustainable and green idealists. Friends sailing with unreliable engines have been sitting ducks in heavily pirate-infested waters, and the burden sailors without engines put on everyone around them. Sailing without an engine does not make you an extraordinary sailor, it only proves you lack experience and are willing to take a huge risk. Yes, a sailing boat is most of the time propelled by the wind. This is what we prefer, however, in the real world there is not always wind, and also many situations that will require a strong engine. A sailor claiming he does not need the engine to be cruising around the world is a dangerous influencer. The question to be asked is how many times these sailors have been rescued without telling you? How many times have they touched the ground, been exposing fellow sailors to danger, or even been involved in expensive damage to others? The so-called fully electric sailors, with the most ridiculous setup, have a petrol generator as a backup. How many liters of petrol do they actually burn a year? If you knew you would be shocked! The same goes for most of those having electric outboards running petrol generators to charge their green illusions. As a long-distance sailor you see this magicians and their dirty tricks not exposed to you on their channels.
