On Rhapsody I may err on the side of conservative to be able to fix stuff. I have everyday onboard tools / parts and extra stuff I take when cruising.

Here is what I consider essential to have:

• Screw drivers - 2 flat head and 2 phillips head (small & large)
• Adjustable end wrench medium 8"
• Sharp knife
• socket wrench set both SAE and metric (I think it's ~ 25 piece set with ratchet and extensions) - Yanmar has both standards
• roll of duct tape for emergency repair
• a bunch of ty-wraps
• small tube of sealant & epoxy for emergency repairs
• Leatherman multi-tool (cutters, needle nose pliers, file)

My guess is there is less than 8 pounds of stuff stored low in the boat.
