Flexible Water Tanks

[LOLA]

I just got this from a FREEDOM BOAT SITE.  May be good for long trips?

 

 

Once in the catalogue look on left for water containers.

 

Looks like various shapes are offered.

 

Has anyone tried any containers like this or similar?

The link isn't working, Lola. Neither were the ones on the margins...even tried copy and paste your link to a new window after editing the extra HTTP's off.

A friend installed one in his Westerly Centaur 26, the 50 liter I think, and although it was a lot of work to install, he's not complained about any problems with it in the eight or nine years he's had it in the boat. They were rather pricey I recall, but it allowed him to install it in a shallow bilge compartment where a rigid tank would never have fit. If the compartment were deep enough, I would prefer a Ronco rigid tank, both for cost and durability, but the flexible tanks seem to work well enough if properly intalled. While I have 3 water tanks aboard, I am unable to utilize the main tank under the v-berth due to the weight of 300 feet of chain, windlass, and anchor already consuming much of my reserve boyancy. I use the two aux tanks and two jerry jugs.
