Keeping safety tools handy is a pre requisite for sailing. Sailing without the necessary hardware and safety gear can hinder your enjoyment of the sailing experience. Even if you’re planning on renting a boat which comes with basic gears, it is always better to keep additional gears handy. It is always helpful to take care of the details beforehand whether you’re a first time sailor or an expert one.
