Lol- how about decks that do not leak?

On the sink- ours drains on either tack for sure. It lifts out and either gets dumped overboard or out the cockpit drains. Tehani has zero through hulls below the water line , which means no sink drain either.

Our stove is for sure gimbled.

I rigged a jib downhaul after my experience in the Chesapeake, and I liked it.

Charlie, I have been thinking about your setup and I have a suggestion. When you get back from cruising- what about drilling a hole above the waterline, but make the sink a little higher. That is the setup my Compac has- seem to work just fine, as long as you put it on a thru hull and close it off when heeling profoundly.

Well, for one thing the hoses and valves would steal space from our galley storage area, which is fullof pots, pans, dishes,etc.

Secondly it would require that hole. With it's sea cock or valve, even above the water.

Third, we'd have to totally rebuilt the sink area to raise it, but it's already high enough actually.

Lastly, it's just really simple to lift out the sink and dump it. No big deal. Much simpler.

You know- it works for you. Having that tight as a drum feeling inside- that has to be worth a lot.
