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:

  1. Solid self‑steering or autopilot
  2. Reliable offshore communications
  3. Heavy‑weather sails and good ground tackle
  4. Redundant navigation and power systems
  5. 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?
