I guess that I just don’t get it. I thought that the question was what
equipment was harder to maintain then it was worth. Or to put it another way
what do you actually need to do the trip within your budget. On my boat I
don’t use electronics because I cannot repair it, and the sextant / taffrail
replacement works fine. All my choices are based on what I can repair or
replace with my skills and budget. That is the way to decide on the choices
of equipment and life style, can you afford to do the trip that way. People
have done trips in everything from a primitive dugout to a luxury yacht with
paid crew. You pay your money and take your pick.
All the best;
Bob
