Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Nekton Gamma link



Jon, Vance. I remember a thread about this some time back when the Delta video link was put up here. Remember it's being towed behind a boat ?  I seem to remember someone saying that to change the window design on the Delta would mean ABS would require a whole new review and the boat wouldn't meet the current criteria. By keeping the boat as-is the re-certification by yearly inspections was possible with a minimum of hassle.
This was about the same time the "cue-ball manipulator " was being discussed. Another video showed the Delta cruising along near the bottom dragging it's chain, passing through some kelp, and the manipulator moving around. I saved the link but it's lost in my files just now. I remember the movie looked like it was made a long time ago and shot with an 8 mm movie camera.
