Hi P-subs. Can someone please give me a steer on acrylic hatch
suppliers. I am wanting to build / design a 2 man twin hatch, saltwater, 1
atmosphere, 250 ft depth sub. I live in So far I have spent about 2 months on design and have found
the forum great. Had to change the design a couple of times after getting
PVHO, and some of the requirements of ABS. The worst one was the 30” from water level to hatch
opening. I cant go very far until I have a supplier for the acrylic dome. Was
wanting a 30” OD flanged design and have emailed various People to find out where I can buy 2 domes but had no
responses. Tried Reynolds, Cadillac and some others. I would prefer to get an
existing mould design and thickness and this will then dictate the rest of the
hull options I can use. I have bought K-350 plans and Stachiws acrylic handbook to
help me understand what works but I am at a standstill til I sort out the Domes.
So far the weight is about 5200 lbs and I am struggling to get the weight down. I want it to be easily trailerable inclusive of a docking
vessel and max weight for towing by car is 3.5 tons including trailer. Another
question is has anyone done a sub in Stainless steel? Best regards, Hugh Fulton Email: hc.fulton@gmail.com |
