Tools and Spares
You can never have too many tools and spares. How much you take is usually limited by space.
Today I would only buy power tools with Li batteries: nothing with a mains lead.
Our list includes tools with mains lead only because we have not yet got round to replacing them.
I believe we have far less tools than most RTW sailors. What we carry is certainly not complete but may help get you thinking about what someone might need for their boat
