Scrap zincs
Orion carries a small but noticeable starboard list because of the weight of the shower and heads structure on the starboard side aft of the wheelhouse. Brian had dealt to this with water ballast in two bags under the main cabin bench seats. On the trip down from Napier these started leaking and a damp carpet in the cabin and frequent but short duration activation of the aft pump were the signs. We emptied and removed them. Now we've been shopping for some discarded zincs which we found at Metal Recyclers in Blenheim— $150 for 200 kgs.
