RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] International Submarine Races
Chris,
I know Dr. Mac is getting along in age and doesn't get around like he use
to. Please pass my well wishes on to him. I'll miss the old FAUboat also
(the Bud scheme was the best).
R/Jay
Respectfully,

A skimmer afloat is but a submarine, so poorly built it will not plunge.

Thanks for the support you guys.
Jay this is the last year for the FAUboat. It is somewhat sad to look
at it now, especially when there are so many pictures of what it used to
look like, my favorite paint scheme is the from the Budweiser
sponsorship. It is now all red and has plain white sticker lettering.
The paint and fiberglass are showing their age in a few places as well.
Dr. Mac is still helping out with it. He has a friend who has been
taking us out off of Boca on an old shrimp boat with a boom crane to
hoist the sub in and out of the water. Dr. Mac has also been coming out
on the boat to watch us practice.
It will be somewhat challenging to compete with the likes of Omer,
seeing as how we don't have the same financial backing. We do however,
have a very motivated team, perhaps the most motivated in a long time
and we are all extremely excited about designing and building a new sub.
This one has served the school well, but it is an old design and there
are now much newer and faster teams out there. They aren't necessarily
much faster, just newer. That says a lot for a 16 year old design to
still be competitive, hopefully the new one will be competitive for at
least that long.
