Our Cape Dory 330 came with a thirty gallon water tank under both the port and starboard settees, however the space below the sole is huge. Inspired largely by the work of James Baldwin at Atom Voyages I decided to build integral tanks below the sole.
This frees up a large amount of storage that is easy to reach, dry, and clean compared to storing anything in the bilge.

Tanks ready for painting
As well as the two water tanks I’ve added an integral diesel tank. The tank is where the original holding tank was. The new tank is 35 gallons, a significant increase from the original 20 gallon tank.

All tanks coated with three coats of Brew Coat, a potable water epoxy coating.
