What totally useless item do you have on the boat besides yourself?

Fire extinguishers.
Carried them for years, never used.

A barometer. It only tells you what has happened not what is going to happen.

best used as a trend indicator together with the present weather observations---

hopefully it will continue that way in the future, it's like many other things, never want to use them until you haven't got them---

OK I have a pair of these in the forepeak locker.

WOW retro boots or what!!!! But if you can sail without them and I am sure many people can sail without ski boots… they do not answer the riddle..

The same applies to barometers, fire extinguishers and ships cats.




Remember you cannot make passage without it (them)

In what sense, then, are they "useless"?

Therein lies the conundrum…

WOW retro boots or what!!!! )

They may be retro but it will be a cold day in hell before I give them up. Comfort AND control. Tried many boots after my beloved SX 90 Equipes suffered a broken shell and finally found these on Craigslist. Tried them on and got an instant message from my feet

"Bliss - PAY THE MAN".

I had a pair of Nordica Syntech.. Rear entry plus top buckles…. Unfortunately my feet grew in width and I had to give them up… Still do't keep them on the boat

Aah! Salamon SX 90. Comfort with control. Alas mice ate the toe and they couldn't fit the bindings (the boots not the mice!)

We have two useless things with the boat…

We can't go without them
We can't get rid of them
and we always have them….
and they are totally useless

A virtual pint to anyone who knows…….

Apparently you have two compass's

Apparently you have two compass's

Most of us have a pair we keep conveniently in a small bag.
They are of no apparent use on the boat, but we have to take them..

B.o.l.l.o.c.k.s.
