Seafix RDF which I notice has come up more than once here. Used it once in anger in 10 years in thick mid Channel fog. Got a beautiful little cocked hat which turned out to total rubbish when I finally made the coast.
I bought one of those metal things you put over the gas rings to make toast. It's still in a locker somewhere on the boat hopefully rusting away.
 
Re: I must protest about

Have to say I never ever got a workable fix with a seafix. Might be because I didn't really understand the operation. I also have vague memories of someone else's Campari dinghy being a novelty health hazard - perhaps that's why it was named after booze?

I had a Campari years ago.It was fine provided you pumped it up well then rowed very quickly to the shore taking the pump with you for the return trip /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

My item of utter uselessnes was the "QME" plywood wind vane self steering.I spent months trying to get one (bought at Beaulie) to steer our Hurley 22. Occasionally it would hold a course but I have a feeling that was on days/headings when the boat would have sailed itself without it /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

AND.. I nearly forgot.....

the bloody great stash of wine you bought when 'cheap' and 'good'.. to 'save' for another time around 6 months ahead..... to be sensible.. careful.. good with the limited budget and appreciating the weight down below as a positive factor in normal seaworthyness and within the realms of being a good skipper........................................
