6 years ago 18.04 isn't even out yet! And we should probably give it a few weeks at least once it is, to let the dust settle.
Updating Ros makes sense, though. I think we're already using kinetic on the pi.

2 things need updating:
-
switch to kinetic (instead of indigo, we can maybe even try lunar, it is what I have installed on my laptop and the code works fine with it (but we should check first if it is available for the pi)).
use a more recent distribution, ubuntu 18.04 is also a LTS and will come with newer version of packages (like python...) (see #234 https://github.com/Maritime-Robotics-Student-Society/sailing-robot/issues/234 ).
