Mike:
You would think that Graham would give us a set of set sockets and help
lighten his boat.....with 260 pieces, he must have 3 of everything.
And if you need to 'borrow' any of Graham's sockets, there is a bolt
cutter on AZURA.

Hey Mike
So if your mast breaks how do you cut the rigging away? If you had a
bolt cutter on board you'd be set for that risk, plus it would make it
easier to break into my boat to steal my socket set. Sorry,
"borrow"... :-)
I'm all about having too many tools on board, just not electric ones.
A friend insisted we clear out the boat prior to a race, it was an
illuminating experience. I managed to talk her out of removing the
windlass though.

When I need sockets I just motor a quarter mile down the NW Arm to

Seriously though. In 2009 was doing a home project and purchased a
Ryobi 9v and then found a DeWalt 12v on sale. Used both drills while
installing new flooring that had to be screwed every 6 inches (for
under tile) and would swap one dewalt battery while other charging
and then use the ryobi while both those charging. The Ryobi would
last only a very short time and has long since been scrapped. The
12v DeWalt has been used for many projects and the first battery
started not holding much charge last Spring while the second is still
fine. The 12v DeWalt has been a great drill for me (this past
December replaced with 18v DeWalt). Nothing but good to say about it
and it was NiCad
I do not leave a drill on the boat. I have a smallish toolbox with 6
screwdrivers (2 phillips, 2 robertson, two slot), one multhead screw
driver, a couple pair of various pliers, a couple adjustable
wrenches, allan keys and a pair of vice grips .. as well as pne
hammer (don’t know why). Also a smallish socket set. As I said – if
I need more sockets I know where Graham is moored
I do believe you need tools aboard because things break on boats …
and also you never know on a boat when the mood will hit you to take
on some small task which always turns out to be a much bigger job
than expected.
