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.
