At the convention if it happens here! I'm thinking of a social event. I'll give you a few random high level attributes...

The main cylinder came from my old project sub "Solo", shortened a little. It's good for 1000 feet but only for skinny people at 31" OD.

The CT is from PC-1402.

The hatch is PC1402 design, but newly made by Emile.

Four fixed MK-101s, jettisonable and oil compensated by a new method, not the little wound-around hoses like Snoopy.

Bow dome.

Snoopy method of VBT floats but with way more of them.

Every part other than the pressure hull proper is either 316 SS or plastic. Every last little bracket, including inside. I hate rust.

The stern... The stern... You will just have to wait for that one. I suspect one and only one person will love it.  It's guaranteed to be different, I'll just say that.

The objective is for a 2 person boat that weighs less than 4500 lbs and launches at very shallow boat ramps, but which is practical in open water with 30" freeboard and an actual deck. Air tanks and VBT floats are replaceable without putting a diver in the water. 

The design philosophy is a search for radical simplicity. I want to ship this one around the world to interesting places, and cannot in those situations find myself lacking a spare part or the sub would become a giant paperweight. Thus the whole thing has very, very few parts, minimal electronics, components as accessible as possible, etc.


Thanks,

Alec
