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

Fri Aug 12 01:11:50 EDT 2016

Similar thoughts attached.  Apparently the sub on the zodiac based platform require less water depth to launch off the trailer than the sub requires alone off the trailer.

Doug,

I think the zodiac is a great idea, you will have to play with an easy way to attach and detach.  You might want to consider a CT enclosure like Emile has.  That should be easy enough to rig up on Snoopy.  The way a K250 is built is not ideal for big seas, but you have options.  As mentioned the Clear CT enclosure, you could even look at a K350 style CT with a regular hatch.  I would go with a small 18 inch hatch to keep it real light.  It would be a piece of cake  to add a new removable  CT.  You could have it as an option, depending on dive conditions.

Prohibited weapons aside, yes I like the idea of going the zodiac route for these reasons: cheap, simple and big bumper. Just not sure how well it would work with a tall/tankish design like Snoopy's. 

Last April we took the Whaler out onto the Atlantic several miles out. That boat is one of the sturdiest boats I've ever set foot on, but at 25 feet, it was getting tossed like a bathtub toy during a temper tantrum (it was a two hands day), and the seas weren't bad that day by any means... 3 foot waves. I'm trying to picture doing anything in the ocean with a support barge and I just can't... unless it were just flat calm. Point for Zodiac design. Maybe two Zodiacs I-beamed together with the sub slung in the middle? ~ Doug S.

 I was just reading the news article about the terrorist they shot yesterday in Strathroy... It seems they caught him one already and released him on a peace bond - one of the conditions of which was that he had to surrender any firearms and prohibited weapons.

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.

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 work

successfully. 

It might start Cliff thinking, his sub would work well with a similar

design.

Hi carsten,

It would be great if you could find a picture.  Sounds interesting.

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.

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 be

able to drive the sub in & out. Maybe some assistance with a winch

when returning would be required. If the unit was designed properly

with a floor that could take the weight of the sub, then you could trailer

both simultaneously. Alan

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.

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.

Did Maynard ever produce/release plans for his sub carrier, Tender Nellie? I never saw it in person, but pictures lives on the net.
