I don't know about making a Jeep a Farrari. I wouldn't want to go offshore in either one. If the winds are light, you will be kicking yourself if you don't have some light air sails aboard. Maybe a big drifter.

Make the boat up to snuff, then I don't have to be a competent sailor....

I know you were kidding on that one.
