I was taking a look at my tool box today and trying to decide what to take
on board.

If you carry a tool box, could you tell what tools go in the box.




Statistics show that 93% of all pleasure
boat repairs arise from connections,
hoses, pipes, wires, etc. I made that
number up of course, but if you've
cruised much, it may ring true for you.

In addition to tools to deal with the
above, the next category is tools to
deal with routine maintenance: filters,
lubricants, etc.

The final category might be tools for
repairs to canvas, boat hull, teak,
rigging, etc. Gets much tougher.

But the Zen enters when grappling with
whether to pack tools needed for major
repairs. If carrying spare parts for the
engine, tools to install them would be
appropriate.

I always thought the more difficult
question was what spares to pack.
