The problems with sailboats and why they have become much less popular than powerboats. If you are learning how to sail, shopping for a sailboat or considering taking up sailing, there's several factors that make it much different than a motorboat or powerboat and those reasons are why sailing and sailboats have lost popularity over the years to powerboats. Sailing isn't for everyone and although sailboats can often be found more cheaply than a powerboat, sailboats are more labor intensive to operate and there is a steep learning curve.
