OK, we take it from scratch... We sailors ⛵ who use the wind for sailing do not like those smokers, have many nicknames for those so‑called yachts. But once again: yachts have sails, not big bad engines. As a motor‑driven device, a poorly designed hull for movement through water becomes like sailing a bathtub, with no keels, your course to reach your destination can easily be 30–40 degrees off course, meaning you are sailing sideways. That makes your actual distance up to 4/3 longer, burning even more fuel and polluting more. They also generate insane noise, both while running and when they come ashore, holding beach parties in the harbours while the rest of us are tired after a whole day of sailing and just need peace and quiet to recover.
