Hi Gail,

You didn't say anything wrong, David was just wondering if there was something
you where looking for.

This is another home submarine builder website:
  http://www.vulcaniasubmarine.com/

Slightly different to psubs, but still good information.  Also it has a discusion
board with some interesting topics.

Ian.

David, 

Did I say something wrong?  I apologize if I did.  I would just like to learn all I can, and I believe it's wise not to limit oneself to a single source of information.

Best, 

Gail

What is this site lacking that someone is looking for
in another site anyway? Maybe it is something we could
incorporate?
