A hotline of note, idiocy in Biloxi, and in the "Calamity is no longer imminent; it is here" department...
Sailing Anarchy has, what could be, a very interesting thread entitled Low tech ocean cruisers on their Cruising Anarchy forum that you might want to check out.
That said, I really should mention that the whole idea of low tech vs high tech really does get up my nose as well as the idea that you have to go all in on one or the other. In my mind the operative word we should be using is appropriate where tech is concerned.
Appropriate is what makes the most sense in a given situation. High-tech for its own sake is as stupid as going low/no-tech because of a knee-jerk reaction and vice-versa. Good design is always going to be a mix of the two with a common sensical addition of inspired compromise in the process.
Just saying.
