Generally accepted 3 least usefull things are:-

1. A spirit level
2. An umberella (Pete 7 may disagree)
3. A Naval Officer.

Most useful 3 are:-

1. Someone who knows what they are doing.
2. Someone to remember all the things I forgot.
3. Someone to make sure 1 & 2 are doing their job.

Not including all the safety kit which is BAU.

Most essential - During the day suncream - and at night safety glasses to stop open eyes watering and messing vision.

Non essential - Ricky!! (Thorper) my boat buddy!
