Hi Jochen
Harddisks aren't made for the rude offshore conditions.
A guy at our sailing club did a world tour some years ago. During his 2 ±"years trip he killed 2 laptops (PC) and 5 HDs!
If you buy the MacBook Air try to get the SSD version, as RAMs aren't vulnerable to physical shocks.
Another idea which probably works as well is the use of several GB memorystick. Run your applications and charts from the memorystick. I think it is even possible to start OS X from the memorystick. This way the HD won't used. But I don't know if there are memory sticks big enough to have the complete OS X installed?
Any ideas?
Regards,
Manou
