Hmm... The more complicated the boat, the more stuff that can break... and making basic—very necessary—systems dependent on other more complicated ones is just asking for trouble.
Electric heads that can are plumbed to flush with fresh water only—making you dependent on a watermaker to have enough water to flush the heads... not exactly bright.
Electric
furling motor died after just one reef... Think it was the main sail
furling system, cause he called it a Leisure Furl.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
