      Perhaps infrared detection??

      Now really! isn't this getting a bit silly. What's wrong with using your
    eyes, ears and applying common sense.
      (Sorry Eric you do have a special case and need additional aids)

      Maybe there is a case for solo sailing but there are many more which can
    be made for havign a companion along.
      Granted that there are some of us who are crusty old curmudgeons so
    unsocialized that no one will put up with us.

      But!!! surely the majority of cruisers sail in company, either
    severalpeopelonm one boat or two or more boats in company as in a flotilla.
      People who do cruise solo fro trans-oceanic passagees need to be aware
    they are doign something atodds with the regulations and must therfoer take
    additional precautions or plan special strategies for coping.
      But all these goofy high tech speculations seem kinda silly.

      With few exceptions, most people cannot design, build and install their
    very own custom electronics.
      For the most part we have to rely on off the shelf stuff and what is
    currently available does not encourage blind faith in their reliability
    fro years and years.
