The available content does not list specific gear recommendations for sailing in the Marquesas Islands. It does show a focus on bluewater passagemaking and living aboard as a “little sanctuary out in the big blue ocean,” which implies prioritizing safety, comfort, and reliability offshore.
For a Marquesas passage, would personally prioritize:
- Solid self‑steering or autopilot
- Reliable offshore communications
- Heavy‑weather sails and good ground tackle
- Redundant navigation and power systems
- Comfort items that make the boat feel like home
Can you share what kind of boat you are sailing and whether you are coastal cruising or doing an ocean crossing?
