Sailing Yacht A is ‘sail assisted’ meaning she cannot sail without engines hence the range numbers mentioned in the video.

I mean all 3 compared to each other.

Another interesting video, thanks for posting. I actually just worked out an agreement in the past week or two, to use _"A"_ as the quasi-rendezvous point for a meetup that a friend and I only do every year or so. We grew up together, he works around 6.5k miles (8.0k km) away, and we can turn pretty much any point on earth into a reasonable place to go. So I determined I'd locate A and just try to view it from some overlook where ever it happens to be by then. Perhaps I could even charter a small boat to circle it depending on where it is. Actually if you have any advice for impromptu yacht spotting, I'd very much appreciate it. I'm planning on knocking out a list of vessels including; Venus, Madame Gu, Octopus, Wedge Too, and perhaps even Lady Moura if the TSA will let me pack enough eye-bleach for the journey over there. I've done the same with land-based architecture but obviously those are static so it's quite a lot easier. I'll digress. Anyway, hopefully the incident was all handled quite amicably. I get that it's an annoying incident but some billionaires can be some of the most forgiving people on earth when it comes to honest mistakes and errors.

This is why when you operate a small sail boat, you need to know how to sail without depending on auxiliary power and if you don't, stay away from other vessels until you've learned. Unfortunately, when an outboard motor is an option, people often forgo learning how to tack and jibe properly.

Fairly sure that the range is based on motor only at listed "cruising speed" and they don't even consider the sail for range. Even with sail they are going to be running a generator, which sorta makes it pointless. Maybe they have enough house battery to run sail for a while without generator to enjoy sailing "quiet" - but I doubt it.
