I make my living developing software and I would like to install a PC
with fast Internet connectivity on a !~40'-LOA ketch. That way, I can
(maybe) live aboard and still indulge my hobby and vocation.

How stupid is this idea? Could it ever work?

Sure, why not?

Issues:
- Power - stable power from inverter or land line - or use a laptop with
its built in buffer battery :-)
- fast internet connection - depends on where you are and what services
you can access
- personal contact with clients: telephone, ip phone/video may help, but
not replace it
