Hi all,
Anyone out there come up with a creative way to mount SCUBA tanks?
My thought was to make a cradle low in the port cockpit locker, glass it into the hull and stap the 2 taks to it. Ideas and photos welcome.Spent the weeekend sailing kittery – newburyport – isle of shoals and back.
Great winds, fist overnight trip. Ran amuck in Newburyport harbor (don’t go there at low tide) disel powerd through it. A pod of whales on Sunday and no boats! Where is everyone?Eric

I was out sailing between Stamford, CT, Northport, NY, Oyster Bay, NY and back. Flew my staysail for the first time. In 20 – 22 kts of wind, sailed closehauled at 8.5 knots with 140 genoa, staysail, and mizzen. Wow! What great fun. These are through the water, not SOG.
Sailed 5 knots in 8-10 with all four sails. The staysail adds 1 to 1-1/2 kts.

Oh- Oops, scuba tanks. I hear they fit really well into the large fender holders. Use water piping foam insulation as a buffer, mount them on a sidewall of the lazarette. But that's just off th' top o' me head.

I don’t’ have the link handy, but I saw one owner who had made a bracket to mount them in the head under the laundry bag.

Owners no more...
Thanks Dawn and Patrick! -

I think that Pete had glassed in rack behind the hatch that he installed in the shower. The tanks sit upright against the hull in the void starboard of the shower stall. Hey and if Pete didn’t do it maybe I had an original idea.
No way

I built a custom plywood rack with ratchet straps to hold the tanks,
glassed in behind the LP tank compartment in the aft, port lazarette.
My angle here is that 1) tanks need to be very secure 2) tanks are not
used often and when they are being used often, they stay on deck. So,
it is not easy to get to the tanks, but they are secure and safe when in
transit.I’m on the road right now and don’t have access to my photos, but I
might be able to find a few photos from my workshop but I know I don’t
have any from inside the boat.(I did put in the access door in the shower, but I do not have tanks in
there. I use that space for a “linen closet”. I have seen someone with
the tanks in the laundry bin.)Pete
