Greetings,
Mr. B. "...some weather that our power boat friends would really not like to be caught in." You are 100% correct! A sailboat IS the vessel for passage making and making way in sea conditions that would make a lot of power boats quite uncomfortable. Horses for courses.
Other than restrictive water routes other reasons I've heard for sailboats motoring are: The wind's too weak. The wind's too strong. The wind's from the wrong direction. Sailors or sailboat owners?
