RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Distress buoy

Trawl floats would make excellent bouys. They’re cheap and some are rated for a couple of thousand feet.

Looks good Frank,

Hope the buoys not compressible & doesn't jettison itself at depth.

I bought some small rare earth magnets recently. Man are they powerful.

I wonder if they could be used for a buoy release system & save another

through hull. I think they use them in microwaves.. You could pick them

up for nothing.

I made a little sketch of how I imagine my distress buoy might look. It's like most things, when fabrication actually happens, things change.
