[PSUBS-MAILIST] Sub on a Zodiac carrier was AW: Maynard's sub boat

Thu Aug 11 19:43:10 EDT 2016

Hi Doug,Are you thinking about taking the bottom out of a zodiac and driving the sub into it.  That is way better than a barge in my mind.  You get the benefit of flotation as well as a big ass bumper.  I had a crane on a barge and that worked well in the lake but in ocean swells, that barge would beat a sub to death.  I used a long sling on the hook so that the sub did not come in contact with steel bouncing around.  But lakes are very tame in comparison.Hank

 Thwarted again by the 250's height! I really like this kind of arrangement for it's simplicity though. And I think as far as keeping it small, this might be the best way to manage launch and recovery in a rough sea state. ~ Doug

Yes, came through Carsten.That's an interesting variation of what I've been suggesting.I was looking at a K250 on a trailer; and they are fairly deep,which would make it hard to design something like this to worksuccessfully. It might start Cliff thinking, his sub would work well with a similardesign.Alan

I have done such a concept for SOVI (Shark Observer vecicle) in South Africa. 
Was a semi flooding towing RIB behind a Motorboot with over 20 knots towing speed. Will search for a picture.  vbr Carsten   -----Original-Nachricht-----Betreff: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Maynard's sub boatDatum: 2016-08-10T06:05:53+0200Von: "Alan James via Personal_Submersibles" <mailto:personal_submersibles@ psubs.org>An: "Personal Submersibles General Discussion" <mailto:personal_submersibles@ psubs.org>   This was a concept I was thinking about a while back.Excuse the sketch.The idea is to have a boat with twin outboards, & a consul up front.You raise the motors & pump enough water into the side pontoons to beable to drive the sub in & out. Maybe some assistance with a winchwhen returning would be required. If the unit was designed properlywith a floor that could take the weight of the sub, then you could trailerboth simultaneously.

Seems like there ought to be a way to have another submersible platform which cradles the K boat, then submerge to the bottom leaving the "carrier boat" sitting on the bottom until ur ready to go back home, then link back up with the carrier boat and surface.   The carrier boat would need to be big enough to travel on the surface and keep the conning tower well above the surface to avoid flooding.  Of course many challenges with something like that. Brian

I sent a response via phone and haven't seen it. To repeat: I do have some of George's original drawings on his tender. Web's was a takeoff on that design and not terribly successful due to poor load carrying capacity and so on. It worked, but was pretty restricted in what it could do. George's was better, hands down. 44' long as I recall. It started life with China diesels which were achingly slow, and ended up with a couple of junkyard 250 cid Chevy in-line 6 truck engines that worked very well. And were cheap, which was an important consideration for ANY consideration for the Captain. Vance

Did Maynard ever produce/release plans for his sub carrier, Tender Nellie? I never saw it in person, but pictures lives on the net.http://johnmaynard.tripod.com/ sub2.htmlGet Outlook for Android______________________________ _________________
