size=2>Hi James congratulations, <BR>- seems more and
more that to light is a normal standard on
launching Psubs.<BR><BR>May do
not install fix weight in the stern next time. Install <BR>it lose in
the center
and than trim it longitudinal on dive station<BR>with move it forward or
aftward
or more in or out. <BR>Its the fastest way to figure out the right
weight and
trim. <BR><BR></font>By the way Alan our overalls are red, and it help
the
skipper <BR> to figure out which guy is in his crew and which
not..<BR>Also
the guys with the brighter (many times washed out) overalls
are the
workers in the crew.. <BR><A

<div>I got my boat in the water at the weekend for the first time.
Put the pictures up here.</div>

<div>I didnt get any leaks at all, so i was super happy. I wasnt
really expecting to try and dive and would have been happy with just no
leaks and a float test, but everything worked fine, so i gave it a
go. Unfortunately i didnt have enough lead. I added 90KG
(198lb) of lead, but it still wouldnt go down. What i didnt
mention on the website was that i was forced to stop testing because the
harbour master came along to say that they had had an anonymous phone
call from some bloody do-gooder who pointed out that we were using the
comercial area of the harbour and didnt have a proper comercial dive
team, which is officially a legal requirement. So even though i
had full permission from the harbour, i was forced to stop on a
technicality. They think it was some missery that has the hump on
with harbour and just wanted to be awkward. Shame because I was
about to load a pile of anchor chain into the boat to get me more
weight.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The boat did seem to be very light at the back and i kept squirting
air into the forward tank to level it out. Thinking about it, i
suspect that the forward tank was settling into the correct position and
it was the aft tank that was riding high. Just need to get some
weight at the back. I had a slight list to port as well which i've
no idea where that came from. Again i will trim that up.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, i was really pleased with how it went on my first
day. Im meeting my divers tonight who took a load of underwater
pics apparently, so i will see how they look later. Might put some
on the web if they are any good.</div>
