Oops, sorry, I hit the send button on that last
message before I typed anything! Lol. Ah well.
Sounds like a good idea Rick. Since your design is
ambient, will you be completely dry
all the time with the water level always below you?
Am I correct in assuming you will enter from the top somehow
in order to stay dry, as opposed to entering from
swimming in thru the bottom like some ambient subs require.
I saw your pics at the link you provided. I saw
the bow and hull shape and
stern shape. What kind of sail, bubble, or upper
superstructure will it have?

Hi, Bill, et al . . .
In my continued search for meaning in life, I
have decided to use the Russian Typhoon as the defacto choice for my first
boat. Why?
Mainly because the majority of the hull allows
for simple curves that can be derived using sheet material. Fast and
easy to build. Exceptions, of course, are the bow cone and parts of the
stern and canopy support structure. These will have to be faired
accordingly.
This design also allows me to cruise long
distances and it avoids having to have surface support. Our waters are
surrounded by boats (Strait of Georgia, B.C., Canada - the Left Coast).
VHF radio, cell phones and EPIRBS will all summon help quickly. If
I'll be going far from shore (transiting) I'll wear my Viking (dry)
suit. If I'm staying close to shore - like sailing over to my local
latte provider by the water's edge - I'll just wear my tux
;-)

I would like to know more about your typhoon
dry ambient boat. Do you have pics online anywhere? Why is it called a "Typhoon" after a
Soviet class of sub? Is it's hull shape
styled after the Russian boat?
Bill.
