Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] UC-3 milestone



Peter,
 
Great job on bringing the boat to this point.  I love the way you have used the conical frustums to build a low drag pressure hull. Very nice.   How did you keep the frustums from getting out of round during the welding process?    Did you TIG or stick weld the pressure hull?  I understand the need for a tall sail to operate in the North Sea .  How are you going to compensate for a pitching up moment due to the sail when you operated submerged at higher speeds?
 
I can't wait to see this boat finished.  Thanks for sharing the pics with us.
 
Cliff

Peter,

Amazingly fast...bravo! What is the projected range on the boat? As I
recall, you intend to travel extensively.

Joe
