Advantage of Class B+ AIS on a sailboat?
I was wondering, if a sailboat could make any use of a pricier class B+ AIS, with 5W transmitting power?

Antenna being on the mast, behind a splitter there are two things: more losses, than on a motorboat and more radio horizon to make use of. Both point on possible advantage of more transmitting power. However, speed is a fraction of mobo's, update frequency is not an issue.
