Thanks Mike,

That 3rd photo of the boom room was actually taken on Lake Charlevoix, MI.

The photo of my boat with just the boom room top deployed at Kelly’s Island, OH is:

Deploying just the top makes the cockpit much cooler on a hot day

Art,

If you look on the photo website, you will see two photos of my boom room.
I think there is also a photo of my boat tied up to a dock at Kelly's Island
in Lake Erie, OH with just the boom room roof deployed.  I made the boom
room myself by adding roof extensions and side curtains to my Bimini top.
When not in use, the front and rear roof extensions roll up under the Bimini
top and are secured there with straps and snaps.  My boom room is designed
to be used in conjunction with the GBI OEM pop top enclosure, which came
with my boat.  The front roof extension goes all the way forward to the mast
and covers the entire width of the deck all the way to the rail, port &
starboard, alongside of the pop top enclosure.  This enables the front roof
extension to function as an awning over the sides of the pop top enclosure.
Having an awning allows the side windows to be left open for ventilation in
all but the most driving rain.  The downside of this design is that to go
forward to the bow, you must go outside the rail and shuffle sideways along
the toe rail until you are forward of the mast.  However, the boom room is
normally only used at anchor or a dock, so going outside the rail is not
usually a big deal.

This was, by far, the most difficult canvas fabrication project I have ever
attempted!  It took me several months of sewing over a whole winter with
lots of visits to the boat to check fit.  I'd never do it again!  However,
you may be a more skilled canvas worker than I.  I wish you good luck!

Bravo Roger !
Anyone following your advice on how to get the best advantages of this
excellent craft will be well advised.
I am getting inquiries on the boomroom from would-be DIY makers.  The design
looks simple, the difficulties enormous.  Overall the R22 lends itself well
to mods into cruising plus.
Best to you,
Art

Go to the Defender Marine website
(<http://>www.defender.com<http://www.defender.com<http://www.defender.com<http://www
.defender.com>>) (800-628-8225) and take a look at the todd M/N 94-1627WH,
Defender C/N 503130 water tank.  This tank has a capacity of 15 gal and the
dimensions are 25" L X 11" W X 15" D.  The MOC is FDA & USCG certified
polyethylene.  The plumbing and vent connections are molded in and are all
female NPT.  The same vender can supply the various plumbing fittings, hose,
clamps, and valves to complete the job.

S/V Dynamic Equilibrium came with water tank mounting beds molded into the
interior of the hull.  On your boat, look behind (i.e. aft of) the
floatation foam under the V-berth and in front of the V-berth bulkhead.  You
should see an empty space sized to fit the above specified tank.  The molded
in mounting beds will provide good support for the tank up in the deep V
part of the bow .  My water tank mounting beds have slots in them.  These
slots allow a nylon outboard gas tank strap to be rigged around the water
tank.  The water tank is held in place by the floatation foam in front, the
V-berth bulkhead behind, and the mounting beds + strap prevent side-to-side
and upward movement.  But, this mount still allows the water tank to be
removed if necessary.

Easy peasy!  I don't know why anyone would want to go to all the trouble and
expense of a permanently mounted water tank when this option is available.

Has anyone built, or considered building a permanent integral water tank?
(Peter?)
I have been watching several YouTube videos by atomvoyager and he always
builds integral tanks and coats the inside of the tank with food grade
epoxy. It may be a worthy project as my R 22 does not have a water tank at
all. But the epoxy is quite expensive.
