My choice was a small cruising sailboat with an economical diesel I picked up a few years ago for a song. If I had waited until the present crisis I could have gotten one by whistling for it.

I thought about this at one time, but a sailing expert told me to forget it because even with mending, the sails aren’t going to make it for many years. They said unless I had a really big one with a really big crew that could make new ones from natural harvested products it would be a loosing battle.

Also the boat that big would need to be placed in lay-up every 5 years.
