Auxiliary Tanks

For a blue water sailboat the fuel should be sufficient for 1000-1200 miles of motoring.
The keel integral tanks in the Dix design were clearly insufficient, also considering that in the aluminium construction due to the extra ballast they are further reduced in volume.

So I decided to add two auxiliary tanks each of 335 liters to be placed under the deck saloon.

Then a day tank of 60 liters. Here you see in with nearby waterlock.

To hold in place these big tank we assembled a cradle un which the will be hold with stripes.

More pictures to come with the tank in place.
