Just remember, most of what you can will deter the novices... the pros will steal your boat regardless of what you do. You don't have to make the boat impossible to break into, but just more difficult than the average novice will want to deal with...most thefts on sailboats aren't pros... and they're generally not looking to steal the boat... just to steal some expensive stuff they can sell easily....GPS units,
radios, electronics all come to mind.

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.
