besides the good items mentioned by Katy and Joe that some various bits of
plywood and a tub of plastic cement that seals while wet. I tried the
plywood bits to see where they would fit, where they might help without
being toolarge to store or too small to be of use. What I got rid of was
too many through hulls and oh yes, the panic prone. Going a bit further
with the old sail was to make one into collision mats already rigged with
lines. Finally the bow area is made into a collision bulkhead. Closest
I've come so far is hitting a floating log up in BC and having an engine
stick in forward gear while laying the boat into it's slip. Knock on
formica.

We have a complete set of bung plugs that match all our through hull hole
sizes, plus a great assortment of life vests of the kapok floppy sort left
over from when the boat was raced that could be stuffed into a big hole

plus
there's an extra old genny that we keep forward in the v-berth...

What type of damage control gear do you keep on board.?

Dunnage, plugs. bracing, patches, ect to keep your vessel floating if
you hole your hull.
