[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: skirt

Sat Sep 10 05:08:04 EDT 2016

Hi Tim,An inner tube is a very good option and was my first idea also.  I am just exploring other ideas.  The difference with my sub to Cousteau's is my saucer is an actual MBT that creates significant lift and houses my trawl floats.  Cousteau's sub had no freeboard to speak of, kinda like the DW's .  If i can not come up with a reliable inflatable solution, I will look at a clear acrylic CT.   I plan to use my barge as a support vessel with the capability to lift Elementary onto the deck.  The barge will also  have a small cabin on deck for overnight  adventures.  Hank

I think Sgt Pepper's could use a CT with view ports.  This would allow sitting headroom along with easier deployment.Tim  From: Personal_Submersibles [mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces at psubs.org] On Behalf Of hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles
