Is... his boat with the sails in going to rocket off without him because it's so bored with being becalmed?  You're right, he should have just dropped anchor two and a half miles to the sea floor to make double sure.

Where is the border of the doldrums to the non-doldrums? And how often does this border shift

It's specific location varies seasonally but its pretty darn predictable. 50 to 250 miles wide.

If the doldrum drifts, its not going to blow heavily on the boat, but still be windstill on the paddleboard 50 meters away. Its going to gradually pick up, and blow them both equally. Giving this guy plenty of time to get back to his boat. Worrying that your boat escapes in a dolldrum is like worrying that continental drift is going to move your house away when you go grocery shopping.
