[PSUBS-MAILIST] Casper

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Congrats Graham!!! Wow, she's an armor-plated version of the K350 and looks
solid as can be without sacrificing good looks. Usually K350's require
about 400 lbs of ballast, so I suspect Casper 2 might be better trimmed
than most. I see very nice build quality and a lot of personalized touches.
My only concern would be the use of flat plate instead of endcaps for
battery pods and hatch, but I seem to recall Graham saying she was intended
for very shallow service. Or maybe the comment was from someone else who
did the same, I can't recall as it was some years ago. But very well done!

Well, we have a sub on the Isle of Man and another on Guernsey now. I'm
green with envy, wish I had ocean all around instead of concrete with
terrible traffic.

Cliff, here's the project page:

Best,

Alec
