Helia 44: Cruising spares

[onthehook17]

Have any of you liveaboard Helia owners developed a list of spare parts that you feel are necessary for a FP Helia cruising offshore fulltime? Since I live in Dallas and my Helia is in the BVI's, I have never had the time to zen with my boat and develop these lists. I strongly believe in not reinventing the wheel. Thank you for your help in advance.

So no one has developed an Excel file for Helia spare parts that they can share with the forum?

I haven't yet had time to put together my list, but S/V Two Fish has a very extensive spreadsheet they put together for their Antares.

Here's a link to the blog post: Tools for boat repair | s/v two fish

and directly to the s/s: http://www.twofishcat.com/wp-content...an-antares.xls

Starry Horizons,
Thanks for the guide to the tools and parts list for an Antares. I am going to work on my own list by part name, supplier and cost.
In the mean time, I have assembled a folder of PDF files for virtually every component on the Helia that I can find on the web. Toilets to gensets. However, it is 141 MB of info and I don't know how or where to put it to share with the Helia owners. Any suggestions. This is a 56 year old tech user asking a 28 (?) year old tech wizard.
This might be a helpful collection of information for Helia owners.

As long as you have a spare the original will never break!

LMAO!! So funny!!

I subscribed to this theory when mountain biking because if I took my rain jacket it would never rain. Finally caught up with me this past summer in Moab, Utah. Bought a new rain jacket in Moab, took it with me on the trail, it poured down rain. The jacket must be defective!!
That's why I want to carry spares; so that nothing will break!!
Funniest think I have read on CF in a while.
Thanks for the laugh.

I've got a few ideas on how we might be able to share that info. I'll send you a PM.

What did you guys land on for sharing? Use Dropbox or another cloud based folder open to the public?
