Tankage can be over-rated. Watermakers are small, affordable and
efficient these days. I've never regretted pulling the v-berth tank and
converting to storage.
Despite a small 32 gallon fuel tank, I've never had a problem. I do
keep two jerry cans lashed amidships on each side. If I anticipate a
worry, I'll lash another two down in the cockpit.
I'm not on a schedule, and pick my weather windows for sailing. These
days I reach my destination without touching the jerry cans, and then
worry about old fuel sitting on deck under the sunbrella covers. I've
also noticed that cockroaches live under the jerry cans down here, but
that's another topic.

Seems like you have to work pretty hard to get tankage up to spec for longer
distance cruising
