| I have to agree with you Duncan mate... a baby carrier might worry the three letter spooks stateside somewhat!
Been worrying about stability with you Vic m8.... with a thought to safety in mind as well, your carrier will be extreamly top heavy and prone to rolling with You in it. Perhaps a drop keel might be a plan. 15-20 degree roll en pitch is fine on a 35, 000 ton carrier with suffiecient freeboard and a lot of but might be a bit scary on a 110 feet with the Freeboard of a Harbour launch and engines rated to 20 knots? (ok... you will be steaming at more like 3knots to keep in scale speed, but even a moderate swell on a lake will be alarming).
I will be stateside in a couple of months... Id love to assist with fitting out if your within commuting distance of VA! |
