    I second this notion! It would be a great resource.

    Cheers,

    Has this group considered putting a list together and putting it up in
    the
    files section? This will help the new salts like me who is trying to
    accomplish the same thing know where to even start. It is overwhelming
    reading all the info and I can start a list but to see something put
    together, well would be awesome and a collective list from a group of
    experienced sailors. We all know that one will think of something
    another
    doesnt and you cannot be to prepared when your going to sea. What do
    you
    think about that idea because I am sure the question will come up again
    and
    again? I would like to hear your feedback on this one.
