[PSUBS-MAILIST] SeaQuestor progress

[Cliff Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

 Nice to see progress on your boat.  I love the pics.  On your segmented wrap around MBT, how are you going to vent the individual MBT segments?  Are you going to use pneumatic actuated vent valves like Alec has on Shackleton or are you going to try and manifold the vent piping and have single MBT vent valves on the port and starboard side?
Back to Hank's question, are you going to have a VBT or are you going to handle variable ballast like I do by adding ballast weights at the CG of the boat?
What are you going to make the MBT segments out of, plastic like polyethylene, polypropylene or layup FRP?

 Hi Hank, we have a trim weight inside using a worm gear drive, and the main ballast tank is a series of wrap around tanks between the hull and exoskeleton.David

 David,Will you have a VBT?  Is the fibre glass shell acting as the MBT or will you have tanks?  Hank
