Details
Capacity: 600 liters
Location: The water tank is integrated into the hull beneath the saloon table
Fill: Base of the mast
Vent: Inside of mast locker
Tank access: Behind the starboard side settee back

Upgrades
Some cruisers have installed a shutoff valve on the vent line to prevent salt water from entering the fresh water tank during rough seas

Potential issue
If the water tank is overfilled or when sailing in rough conditions it is possible for the water tank to crack and leak water. The repair is major, requiring cutting out the floor and repairing the damage. Later boats have an improved design.
