Can you talk about sailing when in fact you have a engine-powered which has, in fact, no sails? For example, we still say, "dial a number" when hardly any phones are literally dialled. Does the same occur with 'sailing' a boat?
Erklärung: the term "sailing" was retained long into the era of steam and then gas-powered boats, even today we say that a ship is going to "sail" at a specific time, but it is becoming rather archaic
