A picture /drawing would be nice..

Thanks for those figures Carsten. Very interesting. I'll print and save them for my files.
To Jon, it would be fun to see any sketches you have. We have all gone through the early stages of sub design and for me it was one of the most fun parts of the whole experience. Some of my early sketches were actually quite comical. ( More dreaming than knowing ). As my studies continued I gained a realistic perspective on what could be accomplished on a small budget and with the skills available.
The archives on the psub site are a great place to start if you are considering building a sub. There are as many designs as there are builders and the boats range in size from tiny to large live-aboards.
All the projects share system designs that are similar.
The archives hold answers to most of the questions a new designer will have.
Best of luck on your boat, Frank D.
