- Consistent organisation and a systematic stowage plan significantly increase the comfort, safety and efficiency of the crew at sea.  
- Decluttering, lockable boxes, dividers, holders and heavy equipment that is lashed down prevent chaos and the risk of injury.  
- Sheets, halyards, fenders, tools, food, first-aid kit and batteries must be clearly organised, secured, labelled and easily accessible.

- Temu lures sailors with low prices, but offers unclear product information, changing dealers and strongly fluctuating quality and even safety risks.  
- Mooring lines, stainless steel shackles, aluminium thimbles and the curry cleat stood out positively, some of which showed good workmanship and breaking loads.  
- Blocks, rope shackles and UHMWPE rope proved to be unsuitable or dangerous; savings conflict with safety and reliability on board.

Test: Is it worth ordering equipment from Temu?

- Temu offers extremely favourable boat equipment, but product information, material specifications and load values are often unclear or completely missing.  
- Individual products such as the bilge pump and cockpit shower work well, while others such as the reading lamp and sailing jacket are risky or of poor quality.  
- Despite some significant savings compared to SRP, safety risks, quality defects, long delivery times and the environmental impact of air freight outweigh the benefits.

- In a salt water environment, salt avoidance, drying, oil preservation and, if necessary, silica gel in a waterproof box are essential to prevent corrosion.

Practice: This tool should be on board
