COLLECTING WATER
Normally Sireneuse collects enough rain to meet their need for water while cruising. Their arrangement captures water off of a large hard top over the cockpit. Charmed has gutters along the toe rail that are plumbed from deck scuppers to the boot stripe. We intend to tap into this plumbing so we can direct rain water to our tanks. Nominally forty four feet of deck, times fourteen and a half feet of beam, times 50% to account for area lost at the bow and stern, times one inch of rain equals 200 gallons!
