crew get very very tired
There is the real danger. When I'm exhausted, I'm near useless and can't
focus well, even on simple tasks.
The autopilot is useless when the going gets especially rough, when you
need it the worst. I've never found one that can cope with heavy seas at
odd angles in a cruising sailboat pitching and yawing wildly in the swells.
Exhausted crew is just a disaster waiting to happen, and being in a hurry
to get there just compounds the problems and risk-taking.
