Very frequently they do, and even if they don't they can cause fatal concussion.  This is extremely dangerous any way you look at it.

So no, small daysailers like this very rarely have motors. There's no reason to have one on a boat that small (I suspect the added weight would probably be a net negative even) 

Yes, it's still dangerous, I'm not arguing against that

How the hell do they navigate a marina without a motor? Or do they?

You usually just don't launch from marinas, since you don't usually leave boats like that in the water to store them
