When it was written you could only have a half height front tank, now that is changed. If you have an old boat and you want to put in side tanks just leave the front tank there it makes the whole process so much easier.

The reason why people prefer side tanks is that it get less water in it and keeps the water more towards the middle of the boat as apposed to front and back buoyancy boats after a capsize. Some might say that all you have to do you is stop capsizing and the problem is solved, well you could do that. >Tips email and comments: © 2003 SA Heron Sailing Association.
