request: info for 'STREAMLINED GLASS BUOYANCY PACKAGE'

[dankelley]

In the BIO table of components (top part of the snapshot), I don't see anything that seems to match the name STREAMLINED GLASS BUOYANCY PACKAGE that is at the top of the mooring diagram (bottom part) for mooring 1840 (Greenan, Sackville Spur, July 2013).

@FormulaFunRacing or @clayton33: Any idea what I should use for buoyancy, height, area, and CD?

PS: I ask because I want to simulate that mooring.

Hi Dan

I should have updated our table. It's the 'original' name in the table...'STREAMLINED BUB 2 x 17" GLASS'. It really should be re-labelled as an Open Seas C2 SUBS package. Actually, I need to look at this because I notice the 'NEW GLASS STREAMINED FLOAT (C2)' just above it in the table. Also, the AW (0.164) doesn't look right for the 'STREAMLINED BUB 2 x 17" GLASS'. (I can't believe I'm just noticing this now. The table was started many years ago by my predecessor...probably as a Quattro Pro file. I need to grab a pack of cigarettes and a large ashtray, to go through this table...).

For now, I would use the numbers in 'NEW GLASS STREAMINED FLOAT (C2)', with 100 lbf [445 N]. This is the Open Seas C2 SUBS float. The 'STREAMLINED BUB 2 x 17" GLASS' might be from a handful of prototypes we had made, tested and used.

I'll close this, since I have the info I requested. Thanks, @FormulaFunRacing!
