Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] New Submarine Project... Need Input.
Hi Bryce
LA - Hawaii = 2200 seamiles.
25 feet hull with a waterlength of 22 feet runs about 6 knots.
With 6 knots = 2200/6 = 367 hours means
15 days and nights..
367 hours with a consumption of estimate
8 liters = 2936 Liters of fuel. About 2,5 ts.
The fuel tanks of Euronaut has a capacity
of 1000 liters. About 0,85 ts. No way for this distance.
I can just manage the distacne if I flood the divetanks
half with diesel - but can not dive than anymore.
And this 52 feet boat and 60 ts heavy.
Sorry Bryce the combination of 25 feet
and trailer and 2200 sm range is not possible.
Think about someting like UC3 or Euronaut and
for 300.000-500.000 USD Material - or... forget the range.
Or make a 25 feet big Trailer boat with about 7 ts
for 100.000 as Weekendcruiser for 24 hours by 6 knots = 144 seamiles.
:-( Best regards Carsten
