To Captain Neal
As I understand it from this newsgroup, you have an identical coronado to
mine, except, I think you have a shoal keel and I do not. Apart from this
difference, I believe they are more or less identical, though i suspectthat
you have updated your interior as your's is a live aboard vessel. I am
currently in the middle of a refit and would appreciate your advice.
My first concern is the actual eorking infrastructure, I need to replace or
repair the water tank and the water fixtures. Is your tank (or was it
originally) only fillable from inside the boat under the aft seat? if so,
did you refit this item? Did you replace your water fixtures in the head
and galley? if so, how did you pulmb them? Did you fit a sea-water pump,
if so, how is it plumbed to the outside?
I am getting rid of the door on the head and building a nav station above
the port side galley. Any advice?
I am fitting my nav instruments on a swinging peice of teak that will be
able to swing into the companionway while underway. How are your
instruments fit? Do you have an outboard, or one of Coronado's old
saildrive motors. What is your maximum speed underway with motor only?
So many questions, so little space.
