I go sailing frequently and I'm also one of the first aiders/ medics for the club. I recommend the following:
AED (be careful near water)
airway management kit
Burns kit (rope burn)
c spine equipment
plasters
bandages
wound glue / steri strips (if trained)
wound cleaning equipment
foil blankets
paracetamol & aspirin
map (so you know your location)
WORKING radio with charger
list of local coast guards/ life boats
It would also be a good idea to get people's medical history (most recent) & any allergies
Hope this helps

Keep in mind that we are going 2000 miles off shore. So we will have a Ham Radio etc. A regular VHF wouldn't do anything out there. Also there aren't any local CG boats out there. I have a kit content list made up out of that list that someone (sorry I can't remember who at the moment) suggested earlier on in the thread:
