This is a good discussion. This has been a big issue in the flying world too. Airplanes now are EXACTLY on the charted airway, not just within a few miles of it. This caused a head-on collision down in Brazil between a 737 and an Embraer jet. A lot of restricted airspace violations come from se

Don't get too hung up on the sailing issue. You are going to places very close together and none of the other charter boats go to weather very well either and they all get around. We did great with a 39 foot cat that basically close reached at best on each tack. We still passed the Bendy-Twos.

Explosions: I think at least 90% of the boats in the USA with engines have gasoline engines, so the explosion rate is quite low. That said, if you have an older C&C – at least up to 1973 and maybe quite a bit past that – with a gasoline engine and original fuel system components YOU ARE STANDING

I don't think fuel economy is relevant in the same way it is for a car. I hardly ever buy more than 150 gallons of boat gas a year, so even free diesel wouldn't pay for an engine swap. What does matter is physical space. The previous Coquina had a 4-107 Westerbeake diesel and the same size fuel

Heaving to is pretty easy to practice. Tack but don't let the jib sheet go. On the new tack turn the wheel to windward. The rudder is trying to head you up and the backwinded jib is doing the opposite, so the boat kind of just sits there. Useful for making lunch or taking a dump if you have no a
