Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] concept sketch

[Carsten Standfuss <Merlinsub@t-online.de>]

Hi Sean - great concept. 

I would like to think about to change the position of the diver lookout
chamber to the aft end of the sail pressire hull. On this position you
can use it as emergency look out chamber even with the boat on the
ground. With a additional top hatch maybe also as transit chamber for
dsrv and other subs. 

In the position as shown you have anchor the sub to take divers in and
out - in the top positon  you can just rest the boat on the ground. 

Maybe this boat needs a high pressure air blowing system below the keel.
The keel area seems a realy big flat area - indicates a a heavy suction
effekt to a soft ground. 

Do you think we can safe some money if we build two units ? ;-)
