[PSUBS-MAILIST] sub launch boat

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
this would be a good project for psubbers with CAD ability, to come up with a consept design.
I like the idea of driving it in to the boat & winching it up like a fishing trawler does with their nets.
Attached is a series of pics of Graham Hawkes purpose built catamaran. The launch / retreival
seems labour intensive.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] sub launch boat
 

I have decided to build a boat to carry and launch Gamma.  I am on my second year of not launching my side wheel paddle boat.  I am taking the paddle boat apart and will repurpose the steel hull.  I am building a boat that looks like a landing craft but it will be open in the front so Gamma can float inside.  Once inside, I can lift it until the bottom of Gamma is slightly higher than the bottom of the boat.   The boat will have modest living accommodations.  Most of my sub missions involve winter weather, so I need a very safe and warm boat.  
Hank
