My first thought is a great safety feature would be a remote engine cutoff you could wear when you are single-handed. Something like what jet skis have but maybe Bluetooth? (downthread: wireless lanyard)
Must have been absolutely terrifying watching the boat motor away.
What a way to go, taking a piss off the side. I do it all the time, but not 40 miles off shore!
If I’m sailing that far offshore the rule is you can’t leave the cockpit without a lifeline, if it’s night and in daytime if someone else isn’t above deck watching you.
