Moving along

Three separate mockups and we finally have a tank on order from Ronco Plastics. After grinding away the mess in the v-berth and doing a trial-fit of the tank Randy Palmer used in his CD36, I discovered that the tank still wouldn't fit, the forward edge too tall to fit under the bunkboards. So, I made a mockup of the tank that Patrick Turner used aboard Salt Shaker, model #B126. Although it's not perfect, it will certainly fit in the space without interferring with the bunkboards or the plumbing fittings. I will, however, be forced to build a shelf for the tank to sit on as well as add some supports along the sides since the angles don't quite match up with Ariel's hull. It's more work than I was planning on, but c'est la guerre.
