Using that engine to drive a reverse osmosis unit for potable water and an
alternator to recharge batteries are more appropriate uses of that diesel
fuel.

I know nothing of power on a sailboat.

The backpackers now have some super filtering divices for water. I beleive
they use ceramic filters. Iunderstand that themilitaryhave these too. They
filter out everything. Any way that something like this could be adapted to
sailing?

Also, couldn't some solar panels and a little wind device be used to charge
batteries?

Also, if you were sailing around the world, wouldn't you catch some fish to
eat now and then? And would you have a way to cook it?
