searching for someone to install new yanmar engine mounts (Erith, Kent)

Don't understand your argument. Are you saying he should use his engine when it's not necessary? I'm with OP sailing boats are for sailing. If you want to motor everywhere, buy a motorboat.
I wasn't aware it was an argument but anyway I've never know anyone to have an engine that's mostly used for idling like the OP suggested. I've got a a yacht that I sail in as much as possible but there is a lot of times when the engine needs to be used. There are plenty days that I get away but the next day there might be zero wind but still need to get somewhere. It happens so I'm sure it just doesn't happen to me.
