Please think also about a case for the rpi including these hats.
ref the McArthur hat consider something similar to the StromPi2 with the option to hook up Capacitors or LiPo cells for the UPS functionality. Bridging a few hours should be enough and then a warm standby (reduce to minimal functions and switch off the rest). Maybe you could also manage to embed a USBdrive to reduce the dependency on the SD card. By that lots of the shutdown issues are already minimized.
These names are from famous modern solo sailors. Added a link to wikipedia
Enclosures will be the last step.
We are discussing the UPS hat right now. Capacitors option is wining but LiPo is not discharged yet.
