[PSUBS-MAILIST] Launch & Recovery

[Douglas Suhr]

To Scott W., Alec S., Cliff R. and *anyone else* planning on launching a
vessel at the convention, I am requesting some specifications on your
vessels to help better prepare for the launch/recovery operations at the
convention. Please note this pertains to vessels being davit launched only,
not for those using the ramp. However, if you elect to use the ramp
instead, please advise. You may post info here or email me directly at
spiritofcalypso at gmail.com (this address). Information required is listed
below. Thank you for your cooperation! ~ Douglas S.

NAME OR DESIGNATION OF VESSEL
OVERALL LENGTH
OVERALL WIDTH
OVERALL HEIGHT
WEIGHT AT LAUNCH (please specify if substantially heavier upon recovery)
DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO (LIFTING) POINTS OF ATTACHMENT
DISTANCE TO C OF G BETWEEN LIFTING POINTS (can be measured from fore or
aft, please specify)
VERTICAL DISTANCE (HEIGHT) FROM LIFTING POINTS TO TALLEST PORTION OF VESSEL
VERTICAL DISTANCE (HEIGHT) BETWEEN WATERLINE AT LAUNCH/RECOVERY AND LIFTING
POINTS
APPROXIMATE DESCRIPTION (size/diameter) OF LIFTING POINTS

No person shall be permitted to be in, on or under any vessel at times of
launch and recovery (using davits). If this is a problem, please email me
privately. Steadying lines will be used to help control submersibles in
lift. These can be bow/stern lines attached to vessel. If you don't have
lines with your vessel, please specify.
