FIRST, IT'S A SAILBOAT!!!
That simple thought should always be kept in mind, especially when
considering systems and upgrades. "Is any of the *fluff* really
necessary and will it really allow me to sail more and/or safer?
Are you insane? Perks are perks. A coffeemaker is fine, especially
when she is blonde and blue eyed.
Never even drill a hole anywhere in a boat without first asking
yourself, "Do I really need whatever it is I want to drill holes
to mount?" Probably not. And, if there's any doubt, use hook
and loop fasteners instead. Don't mar the vessel.
Screw you. I add on all the stuff I want. And when you can't add on
more, you need to buy a bigger boat.
Outboard motors are way less trouble than inboards. Way cheaper,
too. You are more likely to sail than to motor than with an
inboard.
I think you have that backwards. Inboard diesels are more practical,
economical, and more reliable than an outboard. With a folding prop
they are more efficient than an outboard, unless you pull the motor.
Hank-on sails are basic, trouble-free and economical. They actually
provide better lift than a roll-up.
That's total bull****. Try changing a sail under harsh conditions
with hanks. A roll up is better and a foil is the most efficient.
This signature is now the ultimate
power in the universe
