| LAUNCH AND RETRIEVE 33 FOOT GAME BOAT |
-
- Watch th WMV at 320 x 240 if you have
a slower connection. This process shows using a conventional
road trailer secured to the tiltable deck. The game boat is carried
on the trailer and is launched and retrieved using the deck to
perform the action. (Note: The extension of the deck that occurs
underwater has no effect on the boats launch or retrievel. I
simply forgot to disconnect that function when I animated the
process.)
|
- Watch the MPG version at 640 x 489 if
you have a faster connection or need to see a better view. Both
the WMV and MPG are standard Windows (TM) formats.

| LAUNCH AND RETRIEVE ROV |
-
 Watch th WMV at 320 x 240 if you have a slower
connection. This process shows using a special rigging to capture
the ROV frame and using the ramp to power launch and haul out
the ROV wich can weigh up to 6 tons.

| OVERVIEW OF CROSS VENTILATION AND ANCHORS |
-
 In the following images you will not see these
windows or anchors. This update is as of October 5, 2008 in WMV
format. At this point the windows only go up 45 degrees. They
might need to open wider. The saloon and main deck door are open
also.
|
| OVERVIEW OF FORE AND AFT QUATERING VIEWS |
-
  When the boat is built the actual colors will be
chosen from samples. This is a good concept for being able to
quote the job for a high quality, long lasting utility finish.
Here we've added the freeing ports, however, the interior is
still in progress so, the windows or provisions door haven't
be cut out at this point.

 98 RV NR Rework Model (3).pdf - These 2D deck plans
have been revised as of August 23, 2008. All of the following
3D plans and pictures still continue to serve for "pass-and-review"
conceptulization purposes, however, these prints should reflect
a more accurate idea of the vessel as it stands today.

 The R/V No Rehearsal will be one of the most unique
vessels in the world of marine research. Outfitted to carry the
Calypso Clipper, a twin turbo-prop float mounted plane, it is
capable of ferrying researchers between land based runways and
the vessel when it is being used as a research platform. (Click image for a larger view.)
-
- The R/V No Rehearsal is also also being
designed to allow researchers to mount 3-point sensor arrays,
watch underwater video from the forward mounted underwater cameras,
run virtually silent with diesel/electric jets, and set up their
equipment on the main deck lounge area.

 January
7, 2006 - As a guest of Hank Harms we tour the Research Vessel
Hugh Sharp in Florida as it prepares to leave for permanent assignment
at the University of Delaware. Of specific interest was the diesel
electric drives engineered by Siemens, and many other features
(such as the provisioning door) that might be used in the No
Rehearsal.

 WMV video of the Ramp and Bulwark Solar Panel System
Concept
- (Updated (11/24/04))
An old version has been rendered to show more details of
the original design. The solar panels have been changed, but
the launch ramp is the same. Watch the video for a brief animation
of the ramp extending to unload the Calypso Clipper.

| STILL SEQUENCES - CALYPSO CLIPPER DEPLOYMENT RAMP |
-
- If you cannot watch the video animation
of the sequence for unloading the plane the following stills
represent, in general, the same motion with the reverse being
true for loading. These images also have comments on the larger
pictures. (Click each picture for a larger view.)

| DESIGN IN PROGRESS |
-
  Working on the basic exterior layout these drawings
are dimensionally correct. Windows, the provision door, and freeing
ports are not yet cut into the hull at this stage and won't be
finalized until we detail and approve the interior layout.

-
| THE INTERIOR LAYOUT |
-
- January 05,2 006 - The interior layout
for all three levels is still preliminary and based on our original
CAD drawing. Since the design is "in progress" the
technique of using walls with 3" angle stiffeners still
exposed, plywood decking, and 2x4's leaves one to imagine entering
a partially finished vessel under construction.
