Hi Joe,
Congratulations. You bought a great boat.
What you will need as equipment, is of course a function of where you are
going to sail.
Your two previous boats should give you a good base of what is needed.
The M15 may be smaller, but the same requirements still exist.
You should have:
- and anchor or two with chain and rodes
- mooring lines
- fenders
- a reserve gasoline can, with fuel, for the outboard. I carried a 1
gallon can, plus 1 quart oil containers
filled with fuel. The smaller containers made it very easy to refuel
the 2 HP HONDA.
- PFDs for yourself and your passengers
- cockpit cushions
- a pail with a line; and cleaning materials: tooth brush, large deck
brush; sponges; fiberglass cleaner
- a compass
- charts
- for longer trips possibly a GPS and a hand held VHF radio
- a pencil and note pad (small) to write down all the items you want to
remember when you get home.
- a tool box with screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches to fit everything on
the boat and the trailer, plus spare
cotter pins or rigging rings; spare clevis pins for when one goes
splash; a spare spark plug
- galley equipment: knives / forks / spoons; depending on what you want
to eat and if you want to cook.
See Montgomery List for "Tool Box Galley" as an example of a solution.
- boat hook
- ensign and flag staff
- paddle - if the wind and the engine quit
Happy sailing
Connie
ex M15 LEPPO
