Thats why a collision bulkhead is of extreme importance on a ocean
going vessel. Take RedCloud for instance, she has 5 foot of bow that
could be smashed in and still sail along without taking on any
water.
Then 3 other seperate water tight compartments.

That's mighty impressive, Joe.

BTW how deep *is* your slip?

Not impressive Scotty, Safe and well engineered.
How many water tight compartments do you have on your boat?

High tide or low tide? North wind or South? Close to the dock, or out
towards the center? Port or Starboard side?

Joe,

Are you saying "Redcloud" doesn't have limbar holes in her Bilge?

How many bilge pumps do you have?
Are they automatic pumps with their own level switches?

4.

One main self priming 4hp electric with manifold and hard piping to all
three compartments. Pump is in engineroom mounted the same height as
the Gen set approx 3 ft above waterline

3 Atwells on float switches, one in each WT compartment.

Yes I have limber holes but not between each compartment. Solid
bulkheads up to the deck with all items running thru the bulkhead are
in compression fitting and are water tight as well.

I would have said it rammed one of your Collins class subs but I don't think
any have gotten out of port yet.

No luck. The United States has had the best Navy in the world for almost
250
years, thanks to people such as myself, DSK, Joe, Ole Thom, and people
of
Naval Auxilaries such as Capt Neal of the Merchant Marine, a finer
officer
there never was! You can thank your lucky stars that America has shielded
Australia with its nuclear umbrella and that when one point of its
nuclear
triad runs directly into a mountain, it gets back to port with absolutely
no
danger from a nuclear accident. The whole incident is a testimonial to
excellence - American excellence!


Ahh yes, it appears that the US is well versed in 'damage control'

I would be proud to claim it was my planning and construction, but
thats the way she came.
