#1 | Sailing Tools | The Rigging Bag

#boatlife #sailing #sailing #boatmaintenance #cruising #review #rigging #sailor #diy #solosailing #singlehanded Setting off cruising or voyaging on a boat is a fantastic adventure- but what happens if something breaks far from land? You’re going to have to fix it yourself. Now, with modern technology you may be able to get assistance from the shore via email or a phone call- but in the end the rubber is going to have to meet the road and that means you are goi g to need tools, lots of tools. Rigging, mechanical, sail repair, electrical, everyday tools, once a year tools, tools that are only ever to be used in a real emergency. After receiving some comments asking about this I thought I would take you through the tools I have on board, their background, their uses and how I keep them rust free. Today we take a look through my rigging bag ahead of doing a fun job to make old rope sheath into sail ties.
