Talking forget ballast! New research project!

This should be available in the year 2125 (if man is still alive)

2 Solar flares may disrupt your otherwise stable ride.
3 Be advised that you should have additional ballast on board should the Geo magnetism become unstable.
4 earth bound comets, meteors, asteroids may impede your arrival date.
5 not compatible with sea talk, nema, or radar.

We have buckets of geomags that we can donate to the research project. We no longer need them as we will soon be installing a SailFan(TM) which in addition to providing enhanced sailing performance also has the previously undisclosed advantage of gyroscopically stabilizing the boat.
