everything and anything that will make shorthanded sailing easier.

The easiest way to sail a boat with two people, not as young as they
used to be, is to get a trawler. Been there, done that. There is
just nothing like a pair of big diesels with 30 inch, 4 bladed props
to keep a boat going to windward in heavy weather.


When you get that baby done, the only thing you should need to do is push a
button.


And then you just need plenty of time, money and power to keep all of
those buttons working.
