Question on Towing

I do not fancy an idea of loose jerrycans in my boat, so I would not
recommend them to others. If you for some reason decide to go with jerry
cans get a handy siphone pump, so you can get the fuel from one tank to
another without pouring it all over the cockpit. The boat might not
behave wery well in the waves without any power on.

Loose jerrycans would be a very bad idea because they can smash into
things, so they should always be lashed down. Refilling from jerrycans
underway depends a lot on where the fuel fill is located. From
experience I can say that refilling through a deck plate adjacent to
the cockpit is quite doable in all sorts of situations with minimal
spillage. It's not the best solution, but it can be workable.
