[PSUBS-MAILIST] Newbie alert!
Hello gentlemen,
I do use that term loosely ;O) I'm glad to see that
I'm not the only guy to be bitten by this bothersome
bug. My wife thinks I'm nuts. I'm into the design
stages of my own psub so don't expect much yet.
Although I'm not looking into the depths you guys are
looking for it has proven to be interesting reading so
far in your archives. I've just gotten through the 97
archives and I still have much reading yet to do.
Here's a couple of questions for you.
Does anyone know how deep you have to go to reasonably
retreat from surface storms? That's my main interest.
I would like to build a boat to explore the shallow
depths and get away from whatever Mother Nature throws
at me. Safety is the MOST important factor.
Also, has anyone tried to manufacture their own
acrylic windows yet? Have you been successful in
making a good viewport? And what are the limitations
of homemade viewports? Cost?
You guys have a lot of good information here. A lot
of it is sobering considering the risks that you take.
Such as finally knowing the pressures that a hull
must take at what depths. Very scary stuff. You
definitely don't want to make a mistake there.
Thanks guys. I'll be lurking... and reading the
archives... lot's of reading... :)
