q) COCKPIT LOCKERS!
From the cockpit, you have access to three!
lockers. One completely aft, under the helmsman's seat!
and usually called the lazaret and which can be used to!
store a life raft or a tank. If used for a propane!
storage tank, it must be completely sealed from the!
inside of the boat and have a drain to the outside at!
its lowest point. In our plans, we recommend it for!
kerosene storage and we have a tank that fits this!
compartment.!
STARBOARD LOCKER
The starboard compartment is very deep and!
reaches down to the hull. It is very practical to have!
a deep locker to permit the hanging of ropes and!
sheets.!
PORT LOCKER
The port locker is at the cockpit sole!
level. The underpart is accessible from the engine!
room.!
WATER AND FUEL INLETS
We have installed the water and fuel inlets!
under the cockpit locker covers, one on each side. The!
main reason for doing this is to guard against filling!
errors and to make sure that any excess fluid will drain!
outside through the cockpit drain. Also when you lock!
the cockpit locker covers, you are also locking the!
access to both fills.!
