As a sailor, there is nothing better than turning off the engine and having the boat make way under wind. That said, bombing along in a powerboat has its appeal too.

A sailor can also pilot a powerboat, but a non-sailor powerboater can’t pilot a sailboat.

Lastly my sailboat has an an engine, and it took me a while to not think of using it as a necessary evil, but as I get more experience I realize both how little I need it, and how much I appreciate it when I do.

When I was 15, I built a small plywood sailboat. It was probably about the worst built sailboat to ever successfully sail.

I think it sailed only 12 times. But in its short life, it taught four people how to sail. And this was without an instructor or even a instruction book. I had instruction books, and I found them worse than useless. The other three people did not. They learned faster than I did!

Sailing is easy …. Pull the rope (line) sail goes up the wind blows and your sailing. Love it as the boat slowly heals over and you pick up speed. Soon you trim the sails in to match your sail plan if you have one and you become one with the boat. The sails (sheets) do talk to you, pointing into the wind the sheets start to rumble and complain. Again if you have a sail plan like we are doing a crossing you check the heading, change it or trim the sails. Back to being one with your boat. Sometimes you have a discussion do we hold the heading that takes us 20 miles too far north or wait it out perhaps the air will change. Let's do lunch and the tack back.

what do you mean you can't go from the west coast of the US to Hawaii with a power boat?? A Nordhavn with an extra fuel bladder can easily make that trip!!

Skip the books. Jump into an OK Dibghy or a Laser and go. It's not really that complicated.

Power boats go somewhere. Sail boats, You are already there. If you don't get, you probably won't.

I am an avid sailor, and I cannot disagree with any of your points! Thanks for putting together a fair video.

Suffice it to say, you don’t “get-us, and we don’t “get-you”. As long as we’re SHARING the same water and following published standards of safe and reasonable seamanship, “fair winds and following seas” to you too. Oh, sorry, those things don’t matter to you. Have a nice day.

Let me fix your title: "Why doing almost anything is much less popular than sitting on the couch and watching TV". Top 5: 1 If I do something I might have to learn something new, that sounds hard. 2 The weather might not be right. The weather never changes in my living room. 3 Doing things sometimes requires other people. I can watch TV alone. 4 Doing things takes a lot of time. 5. Doing things is just a lot of work. Joking aside your list of bugs are actually features. Good hobbies challenge us. Driving a boat around on it's own is fun but can get boring. That is why a lot of long time boaters will fish, waterski, or turn to sailing to provide that extra challenge and fun on the water. So as you say it's not for everyone, but that is true for pretty much everything except sitting on the couch.
