Not the most inspiring of topics but in reality, after a seaworthy boat, the most important safety factor on any boat. Minimum survival level consumption of water is estimated at 1 gallon/day/person so for our family of 4 that is 4 gallons per day, add in a safety factor of 25% and 30 days water usage at minimum levels is 150 gallons. This is actually less than actually used during the average day on shore!
Our HR 40 comes equipped with 122 gallons of water tankage in two tanks. We have also ordered a spectra water maker (14 gallons/hour) and will carry additional water in jerry jugs totaling approx 30 gallons.
