Tools
Buy a small robust pack (like a bum bag or a mini stuff-sack) and have in it:
-
Rigger Jigger (10mm and 13mm spanner/wrench)
-
Small Adjustable spanner / wrench
-
Largish straight-head screwdriver (you can get multi-headed screwdrivers)
-
Cross-head screwdriver
-
Plastic tape
Optional:
-
10mm and 13mm spanners (open at one end, closed at the other)
-
Some sort of multi-tool with grippers/pliers and a knife
-
Tape measure long enough for Oars (4 meters).
They'll all get wet - dry them out after outings. Put something distinguishing on them (tape and/or lettering) so they come back to you.
You need to be able to access them quickly on water and land. Don't get the best - they tend to get lost / dropped in the river and you’ll be buying replacements. Cheap and cheerful is best.
Happy coxing!
