Hello Josef,
the only hardware you need is a outdoor antenna, example half wave dipole ( http://www.hffax.de/forum/messages/21.html ).
As software I recommed JVComm ( http://www.jvcomm.de/ ).
Simply attach the audio out of the ICOM IC-706MKII transceiver to the line-in jack of your computer's sound card.
Please note that for all listed frequencies you should subtract 1.9 kHz !!
The JVComm software can also decode RTTY, such as synop and Navtex and weather warnings.

For your sailboat trip you need following fax schedules:
