Thanks Alan, very good points. No vertical thrusters, the concept is for
a vessel that motors along at several knots as opposed to a vessel for
exploring the bottom of the ocean. Mid ocean I think is the expression.
Yes shortening it would add more vis. Perhaps once I have some
displacement data I can look at that.
I figure on two oil tanks fwd and aft for trim, which is why there is a
little more room fowarded at present may be able to work around that.
Yes, enjoying designing. Can almost picture it in my mind without the
CAD.

Hi Lawrie,
Noticed that you don't have any vertical thrusters??
Also I could be wrong, but you seem to have a bit of room beyond where
your feet end. If you shortened up the front a bit you'd have just that
much more
visibility before you hit anything.
It's looking pretty good, can see you're enjoying this stage.
Alan

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...
