We've used a Sony Vaio on a Bristol Channel Cutter for two trips from the
Chesapeake to the Bahamas with no problems at all. No special precautions
other than making sure it was not exposed to rain and spray and was kept
where unlikely to be flung onto the cabin sole. Seemed to handle the normal
range of offshore and semi-tropical humidity just fine, so the extra expense
of a "Toughbook" may be overkill.
