What you need to invent is a simplified canvas system for cockpit
enclosures. They're cumbersome at best.

Also, a foolproof anchor drag alarm (one that doesn't include tossing bricks
off your bow quarters).

OK, I feel obligated to post something.

So......How about "Intelligent Sails" that have micro-strain guages
built in on a grid array so the strain can be read out at any point on
the sail and then adjusted accordingly. Sorry, its really lame.
