[PSUBS-MAILIST] Ballast Questions



Hi,
        I have a question on the ballast set up on the Kittridge subs,  Is that over hang on either side of the sub a soft ballast area?  and then is there a hard ballast (variable ballast) directly underneath the sub?  Just from looking at the pictures that's what I'm getting .
 
Also, if anyone knows,  Looking at Carsten's  Euronaute I can't figure out where his ballast tanks are?  The sub does not appear to have a double hull so I'm starting to get confused !   Is the ballast inside the pressure hull so that the sub is more streamlined?  And so with no double hull the sub is not intended to have any real freeboard?   Please if anyone could straighten me out on this it would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
 
Brian
