[Public-List] Fwd: tanks offset

I vaguely remember getting into a protracted discussion with someone
once on whether my fresh water tank was integral to my hull or liner. I
can't remember having actually followed the surface of the liner to
check that but want to toss the possibility out there that the bottom of
the water tank is liner rather than hull (not sure if it changes
anything though).

Also, I think that the under-V-berth holding tank installations I've
read about on this list have generally been in the space under the
drawer at the aft end of the port berth; the fresh water tank is forward
of that.

Cheers,
Kris
