All this makes wonder why we bother with holding tanks

Cruising on a different scale

Better to design a boat where the traveler is not in the cockpit, the boom is above head height, oh yeah and drop the main early when going downwind in a freshening breeze.

Best keelboat racing I ever did was this fleet https://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/columbia-5-5-meter-comeback/ I was on the pale blue boat.

Here's a starting point

Wouldn't it be fun if all the multihulls went to one of the Auckland beaches one day and dried out. Then started scrubbing/sanding/painting.

that one relatively small user group can command exclusive use of prime, public, waterfront land - year round - to maintain private vessels is completely unrealistic. By that reasoning close everything.

which will in turn filter sailors through to keelboats), Keep this up and there won't be any keelboats left.

All that kind of stuff wait till you have decided to leave. The technology keeps changing (iridium go anyone?) And prices generally trend down.

Lots of different opinions on this one. Sounds plenty to me. Others will disagree.

Storm jib, trisail, jackstays. As a starting point let's consider a 40ft family cruiser, well maintained and well equipped but now decided to try a first offshore passage. So only looking at extra expense over continuing to cruise coastal. I'm with Matt no change out of 20k. What about communication?
