I'd think that the first step is defining operating requirements.  ??

Carsten is able to operate his micro sub on lakes with what looks like a few inches of freeboard.  (Although I think he said it's challenging.)   But for many other locales or situations you might need a tall coaming or even the hatch elevated a few feet.

The idea of a pop-up sail has occurred to me. Did I read somewhere that 30 inches of freeboard is required? The coast guard rules are kinda vague but generally say protection from swamping must be designed for the worst case surface conditions expected at any given dive site.
