This is how our 35 foot C&C Landfall sailing sloop was outfitted for our passage south.
Next time we wouldn't carry the EPIRB but would buy a SPOT instead.  We also would forgo putting on insulated back stays.

What we didn't have but would've liked:
a/ some form of self-steering
b/ a chart plotter
c/ radar
