Just to re-ask the question - who is cruising in remote areas or hundreds of miles from shore with a single engine and no backup?

RAG BAG SAILORS , by the thousands.

For the speedy marine motorist Mr H. designed cruisers like the MARCO POLO .

10K, 240nm per day, but it was no beach ball.

With modern engines , materials this should be a snap to match.

Step the mast in a lutchet or crank powered tabernacle , build easily beachable , and a fairly low cost easy maint world cruiser could be built.

No beach ball.
