The requirement: Spec is for a boat (power OR sail) capable of safe

boat would YOU recommend for such usage?

22' bayliner.


And for $180,000 you could get, what? 10 - 12 used ones. So you just
tow one behind the other, as they break, you jump in the next one.

With Skipper's gimpy knees... he'd need to set up some kind of 'at sea
transfer' system.

Skipper would be better off with an 18th Century slave ship, so he could
transport all his Jewish and black friends.

That may not seem so crazy after some reflection.
A guy like Skipper (armchair admiral) would be quite at home..barking
sarcastic orders out to a 'captive crew' while he daydreams of leading
great sea adventures in far away lands.
I'm thinking a modern day Capt Bligh sans the seafaring skills.
