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 electrical repair gear which helped me get the Waeco12/24 volt fridge working last week.
