[PSUBS-MAILIST] Sub on a Zodiac carrier was AW: Maynard's sub boat

Thu Aug 11 21:29:10 EDT 2016

Prohibited weapons aside, yes I like the idea of going the zodiac route for
these reasons: cheap, simple and big bumper. Just not sure how well it
would work with a tall/tankish design like Snoopy's.

Last April we took the Whaler out onto the Atlantic several miles out. That
boat is one of the sturdiest boats I've ever set foot on, but at 25 feet,
it was getting tossed like a bathtub toy during a temper tantrum (it was a
two hands day), and the seas weren't bad that day by any means... 3 foot
waves. I'm trying to picture doing anything in the ocean with a support
barge and I just can't... unless it were just flat calm. Point for Zodiac
design. Maybe two Zodiacs I-beamed together with the sub slung in the
middle? ~ Doug S.
