That and storms. You need engines to ride out or (better) avoid storms at sea.

- rainbowmverse 8y agoIs a ship that big bothered by anything less than a hurricane?
- Someone 8y agoI would think so, certainly of you add masts and sails that can propel that big a ship. Example without sails: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSC_Napoli https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSC_Napoli: ”during European windstorm Kyrill, severe gale-force winds and huge waves caused serious damage to Napoli's hull, including a crack in one side and a flooded engine room […] the earlier grounding in 2001 did not contribute to the loss” That ship was 62,000 tons. That’s not huge by today’s standards, but not small either.
