Food that does not spoil, lightweight, energetic and balanced
As I am preparing to get into sailing, the problem of having food with me that does not spoil, is lightweight, sufficiently energetic and well balanced becomes relevant for me. Personal satisfaction is of course also important. Water is available, but occasionally something without water may be called for.
If you had to arrange food with these characteristics in mind, what would you pick ?

You have asked a huge question; bigger than one can reasonable answer on a site like this.
I suggest you look into "Crusing Guide" type books. One such is Sail Away - I have no involvement with this book other than having met the authors; there are many others.
Books like this will take sailing-specific exigencies into account such as limited water/power/etc. as well as accounting for storage issues.
Sailing, like many other travel endeavours can vary widely between people as well. My version of spartan may well be your luxury. Power budgets lead to refrigeration issues, and the like.
Good luck and fair winds! (from a sailboat owner)

Answer 2
My neighbor when I was growing up used an edition of the Joy of Cooking from 1943 because many of the baked recipes where designed to be durable enough to send cookies and things to soldiers in Europe during WW2. It looks like Amazon has a couple copies available.

Eggs. They keep like crazy if you turn them over once a day, are delicious, cheap and can be found anywhere.
They're fragile, but that's about the only significant drawback I know.
Likewise, hard cured meats--sausage, raw ham, etc. will keep well and can be eaten raw.
