As much as I like firearms, if you don’t have overwhelming power and/or are
not prepared to use it, you’re much better off without weapons.I would happily carry two M60 30 cal machine guns on the stern rail and a 50
cal M1911 mounted where the baby stay is. That, I think, would be enough to
discourage boarding. Or, more modernly, three chain guns.Failing that, it’s best to stay as calm as possible…

notwithstanding, this forum is about 424’s specifically, and sailboats
(and sailing them) generally. Piracy is a very real concern to all of us
who sail abroad, as much as (perhaps more than) getting parts for old
Westerbekes. Sharing information and viewpoints on how best to avoid
and/or deal with avoid pirates seems a legitimate topic. But maybe we’ve
already said what there is to say.Except on the subject of firearms aboard, but that’s a touchier subject
than which anchor is best.Tor
