Engine fails : Done that - got the T shirt ...... had to use the sails to get from Folly Inn to HYCO ....
Battery fails : I have two Cranking batterys not split Cranker and Leisure. So either can do either job.
Plotter fails : I have Tablet with Navionics, I have hand held GPS - an old eTrex - as well as Navionics on my Samsung Smartphone - PC with full charting and GPS puck ... paper charts and pencil / ruler / compass
Tiller pilot fails : This is the worst one ... means I have to take the helm !!
Rudder fails : Sails and a bucket ............... I'll leave you to work out how that works.

Actually quite a list could be made ......... just takes a bit of thought - sometimes 'lateral thinking' ....
