Re: Convince me to keep holding tank.

Chris, Thanks for the information. I'll go through it. I've actually thought about how to keep the overboard thru hull and add a pump in the line from the holding tank(or porta potti) so that I can pump out the tank offshore. I don't think I'd use the head and holding tank unless I absolutely had to...

Re: Convince me to keep holding tank.

Thanks Oscar. I take it that you don't see any reason(other than Canada -?) to keep the holding tank. I was under the impression that since a porta potti is not 'permanently' installed that it wasn't subject to the same requirements. My understanding is that a porta potti is completely legal worldwi...

Convince me to keep holding tank.

I have a Yankee 30 that my gf and I will be sailing to Sea of Cortez and beyond. I detest complicated systems and although my boat came with some nice equipment such as radar, some things I wouldn't have bought and installed if the boat hadn't come with it. So, at some point the marelon y-valve hand...

Re: Greetings

David- Chief White Cloud would be the one the boat's named after, in a way... Rachel- Fender placement is really just one thing which would benefit from an aluminum toe rail. That is certainly not the reason for it, but the little things count for a lot on a boat. The primary reason is maintenance. ...

Re: Greetings

Leaving Aug. 1st this year. I CAN NOT wait! I also considered Trex for the toe rail, but if I'm going to do it, might as well do it the way I want it. The practicality of the aluminum toe rail is not to be underrated I think. Simply being able to lash the fenders to it rather than the fairly weak st...

Re: Greetings

Sorry Chris, hit the post button a little early there. I've done a fair bit of work on her. She was in great shape when I got her. Did a fairly large drill and fill on the decks, I've rebedded about 75% of deck hardware so far, fixed blisters, et cetera. I'm in the process of installing mast steps, ...

Re: Greetings

Thanks Chris. I've been reading your blog and I'm impressed with the work on your Yankee. Ours are only a couple hull #s apart. Eventually I'll recore the decks and add a aluminum toe rail, which I had hoped to do before leaving, but I doubt I'll get to it before leaving. Probably do it on the hard ...

Just found this site a bit late as I've been refitting my Yankee 30 the last 1.5 years for cruising in Mx, the S. Pacific and beyond. Perusing the forum I find it to be fantastic. A great place for all boats classic and plastic. Anyway, here is mine, sailing in Puget Sound.
