Spare parts for circumnavigation

The two years before we took delivery of our boat, I followed as many boats and Facebook groups as possible, that were doing a circumnavigation, to find out what they would break and the spares they required to fix things. There is a difference between spare parts to replace items that break and service parts that are required for normal maintenance. Spare parts are hopefully a wasted ‘investment. You keep them on board, hoping you never need them, but thankful if you do have them. Buying service parts such as oil, oil filters, impellers etc. is just an advance payment for items you will need anyway in the future.

This is my list. Note that this list does not include additional equipment that I added to our boat for safety, boat handling improvement etc.
