Camera

Binoculars maybe

Book

Medical insurance

 

[samwise]

And a VERY big bag to take all this essential kit

 

[robp]

Mobile phone charger... that reminds me, I left it on another forumite's boat a couple of weeks ago.... SWMBO will have to do without for a few days.

12Volt one? They're so cheap now - keep one in yr sailing bag.

 

[Chris_Robb]

a very large sleeping bag?

And "something for the weekend sir?"

 

[toad_oftoadhall]

What else should be on the standard list?

You need to take a Danforth in case the boat doesn't already have one. Any other anchor is dangerous will fall apart and won't set. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Oh No No No..... It will not set on change of tide - leave it at home and take the Rocnor + Craigs URL so that you can read all about it on your Blackbury.

Oh - I think you forgot the kitchen sink.

 

[Stemar]

A few basic tools - I have a multi-tool thing with an adjustable spanner, another with pliers, shackle key, knife and sharpener that live in a pouch in my bag. They've come in handy a few times.

 

[Woodlouse]

And if you haven't already packed it, don't forget your umbrella.

 

[MoodySabre]

Paracetamol for the hangover

Diocalm for the *****

That's crazy talk. My uncle used a Rocna and his entire family were kidnapped by aliens.

Is that what you want? Aliens probing your nearest and dearest?

Exactly. Play safe and use the Bruce.

Rubbish, I used a Bruce once & it was eaten by Seahorses, I would suggest using a Fisherman, ideally one from Grimsby.

 

[Boomshanka]

Pyjamas and carpet slippers

 

[bilbobaggins]

And if you haven't already packed it, don't forget your umbrella.

"...and bicycle."

"...and serving naval officer."

[BrendanS]

You haven't said what sort of boat it is? If it is of a certain type of white variety, you may want to take a spare keel, as they can fall off frequently, and spill your g&t

kit list

At least ONE oar(spelling optional)

 

[Woodlouse]

Don't forget to pack some contraceptives.

We don't want any accidents now after all.

 

[eastlaked]

Things not to forget ...

Matches - no tea without hot water.

And the piano.






























Your wallet and passport was on the top of the piano.

 

[Allan]

A wheel barrow.

























To carry all the junk suggested above!

[photodog]

A big bag of drugs.

Nothing is worse than having to find a new dealer in a stange town.

You might want to pick up an immigrant for the return trip to do some housework in return for the free trip to England.
