I dont plan to run out of water and I dont plan a circumnavigation, however, has anyone used successfully a solar water maker.

1l of water per day. Hope you're not thirsty!

Requires sun - the web-site talks about tropical applications. I doubt you'd get anything like 1 litre a day in UK latitudes.

They also have a short shelf life. At £100 per year Cost £200 last two years from memory. Total rip off.

I've memories of similar devices 20 odd years ago and nothing to hint they were new then.

Robert Redford manages to construct a solar still from what appears to be half a baked bean can and an empty plastic bag. Works for him, watch the instructional video on "All is Lost". There are other useful tips too such as how to set fire to your liferaft in order to attract the attention of potential rescuers.
