5 pieces of equipment/systems for the Mac to Loop

Post by McSkipper »

What 5 pieces of equipment (radar, chartplotter) or systems (AC, water storage or holding tank) would you add if you were to take your Mac (M's can go too :) ) on the "Loop". Assume Mac is already has compass, and depth finder and roller furler.

Asunming you have ????? That is a big question. The LOOP has been done in a 16 Kayak. From what I have heard, the major problem is things stop working. Quality workmanship and products are a must for such a long trip. The list is over 500+ items, What is the 5 most needed? Depends on what you are doing. 22 pound Bruce with 150' of 1/4 BB chain. The BEST bed. Quality foul weather gear. Extra Anchors. Many good books.
