Just About Sailing September 2018 – Making and Installing a new Holding Tank, Pt 1
This is the first of a two part project. I decided to make a holding tank from glass fibre covered plywood. Partly because of cost, but also to make sure I can get the exact shape and fit that I want. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

I only really took the old windows (portlights) out because I needed to paint the outside - and fill in the old holes. However, as we all know, there is no such thing as doing one job on a boat. Every job is always accompanied by at least 5 more. Plus I ...
