If I then run an OpenVPN client on the system on the boat will I be able to do what I want:-

1 - Run the OpenVPN client on the boat without user intervention?

It's a minimal Ubuntu server installation, no GUI, little space, etc.

Yes.

2 - Having done 1 can I then access the *client* from the server?

Yes.

3 - security of the client system is unimportant really, if someone
hacks into it and takes it completely apart I don't really care,

however security of my home system *is* more important.

Not a problem (at least, not one that can't be solved).

Make your home system an OpenVPN server. The simple option is to create a certificate for OpenVPN and set up the boat to connect to home. The security at home is that no one without the certificate can connect.

Set it up; say if you have problems.
