It is just a magazine posting a link to the original Cayman Flyer and one Captain who was not there offering his opinion
That would have gone well with the wild pigs I shot there years ago. I might have to return there on my next sojourn to the South Island just to...
Your last paragraph describes some carry on that used to be common on yachts and probably still is it is just better hidden. Having been told how...
If you knew some of the stories I have heard about some of the management co's in yachting you would agree with them.
On bigger boats there is another body between Chief Stew and the Captain , this is the Purser who is responsible for keeping the records of leave...
It may come as a surprise to you Ralph but motor vessels are known to set sail

I would think one of your first stops should be the shipyard that is going to haul your boat and ask them if they can do it.
For that size and operational profile if you are careful about what you load and carry plenty of spare filters you should be ok.
A lot will depend on where the vessel operates and what sort of fuel it takes on. For a local coastal cruising boat that setup would be fine, for...
