KSS Eurosub - Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Reserve buoyancy
The freeboard on to of the acylic sail is 2.3 feet.
Emile shows me picture at roof sea with the boat in
tow and just the sail sticks out of the waves, hmm.. sometimes..
Vance you are welcome to sale represent Eurosub drawings and parts.
Easy update (stronger hull) will be good for 1300 feet dive depths.
Boat with empty tanks and without crew rest with 2,2 ts on the doubleaxel trailer.
And the one meter (3ft) longer version will be good for four and a dieselgenerator
for long surface transit drives.

It shows a lot of confidence to have the hatch open on the surface. I'm looking forward to learning more about this thing. My sub is coming together and will be gone by next summer (I hope) so perhaps it will then be time to build another submarine. I think you and Carsten really have come up with a modern Kittredge, and would love to represent it in this country.

That would provide a separate compartment for the batteries but do away with the leak problem completely. I don't have the engineering expertise to calculate such a thing, but ABS bought off on those boats, so one must assume that it can be done. PC-5 has a 20" tube section with one small hatch forward to pull batteries through (an enormous pain in the butt, according to the guys who worked on it). The nektons have an aluminum box top, o-ring sealed that screws down to the projecting edges of the steel box keel, which exposes the eight batteries from one end to the other (harder to build but easier to maintain).
