    I would not bother with things that have a good chance of going wrong. Anything you have you must also have a plan of how to continue if it fails.

      I am spec-ing out a blue water sailboat, and went down the option
      list choosing items that I thought would be useful. When I tallied
      up the total, the bill came to over $50,000. This obviously won't
      work.

      I don't mind buying things that will make my boat safer, more
      seaworthy, and enjoyable to sail. I don't want options that will end
      up being unreliable maintenance headaches.

      Are there any options that just don't work in a cruising boat? I was
      thinking of things like roller furling for headsails, Heart
      Inverters, Autopilots, engine-driven refrigeration, Maxprop, water
      makers, etc.

      Thanks
      Chris
