I figure to do that by building a model and placing it in water with some weights add. Measure the water displaced and do the maths for the pressure vessels and other components within the outer hull.
At the moment, all by eye. Have to reinterate once I have some data.

Began working on the drop weight arrangements, and sort of got a little distracted because I wasn't happy with the deck arrangements.
I figure you just need some space for those fair weather days to stand on deck. Looking at a system whereby the deck rails can be retracted and extended to waist height.
Some extra wave deflection, some more work in this area.
Regarding viewports, very keen to learn about the options and costs.
Cheers, Lawrie...
