[PUP] Wing design considerations, other factors

[Scott E. Bulger]

If you're doing your own design to accommodate main engine failure, it might
be smart to consider the impact of stabilizer failure.  If we would have
continued with our circumnavigation plans I would have added paravanes to
Alanui.  Since we opted for a near coastal route I didn't install them.
Remember when Uno Mas lost here stabilizers on the NAR:

Powering your hydraulic systems with the
Wing/Gen/Watermaker/Stabalizer/Battery Charger power unit might make a lot
of sense.  Wait, now with all that do I need a backup for these systems?  Oh
God, a backup for the backup!  What have we done!
