of course there could be merit to another system, THE BIG RED BUTTON- lets just say your sailing along on a nice sunny day and WHAM- you get hit by a microburst and your laid over 90*, the hatches are open and shes going down !
hit the red button, all chainplates blow up and the rig flys away in the breeze !
also every boat should have THE BIG RED BUTTON FOR KEEL BOLTS, in case of hull damage at sea or serious grounding. This system combined with closed cell foam bunk cushions should keep your vessel aflot in emergency.
i already have a patent on the idea so don't even think about marketing it !
