| Ran my old Seawolf this morning at said regatta. For the first time ever it stayed down and cruised at periscope depth until I hit a rock! Had to use about 8 degrees down on the front dive planes to make it work. The sub has never leaked and works well for a dynamic diver. The only major problem I've had is splitting the nose cone along the seams with those darned rocks! Pity my sternwheeler was misbehaving - it would have crawled over the rocks! The static diver Adzam refers to works really well - I'm looking forward to seeing its innards shortly.
