What is your plan if you lose steering, say because of a broken cable, or worse if you lose the rudder altogether…what would you do if the prop got snagged in fishing gear…what if a through hull started to leak fast or your engine exhaust pipes broke and water started to flood the engine compartment or if you lost all electrical power. Have you taken a safety of life at sea course lately?
