The sailboat *Starry Night* features several design flaws that complicate maintenance and daily operation. The vessel’s freshwater and diesel tanks sit on opposite sides of the hull, causing the boat to heel significantly when one tank is full and the other is empty.2:15 The owner plans to convert both to freshwater tanks to allow for ballast balancing and to relocate diesel storage.3:32 The boat currently utilizes 11 through-hull fittings, which the owner intends to reduce during a future haul-out.5:31 A shared Y-valve system for the bilge and shower pumps previously caused a pump failure when water backed up into the shower unit; the proposed fix involves installing a dedicated through-hull for the shower above the waterline.7:25 Additionally, the mizzen boom interferes with the bimini, and the head’s intake and discharge lines are positioned too close together, causing cross-contamination.9:22 Finally, the pilot house lacks sufficient ventilation, leading to high temperatures in warm climates, which the owner plans to mitigate by modifying a fixed glass window to open.13:21
