On-board tool list

I’ve decided to empty out the tool shed that my sailboat has become. It’s handy having a lot of tools on board but I’d like to shed some weight, and lighten the sailboat too. Wondering if anyone has a list of what tools they wouldn’t leave the dock without. I’m talking daily to a few days, no crossing seas.

let me grab a beer... this is going to be a long thread!! between those who would go pretty light, and those who cannot drop the lines without a water pump, a coil, spark plugs + cables, a voltmeter and 2 back-up anchors etc...

But clearly I need to do the same cleaning... Previous owners had kept stashed multiple ignitor points (now an electronic ignition), and I did not do a better job at cleaning the boat. So clearly some good lessons to learn here.

Combo set of driver bits
Screwdriver set or one of 6-in-1 screwdriver in good shape
Big screwdriver or small pry bar
A large adjustable wrench
Small and large channel-locks
Vise grip
Pliers
diagonal cutters
Utility knife
Wirestripper
20' of 4 conductor - 16 gauge trailer wire (for emergency patches)
various wirenuts
Black electric tape
DUCT TAPE (any color )
Jumper Cables
