Mirage Drive Submarine

I am really taken with the beauty, efficiency and pure comfort of Tim's Zelva. With the balance issues I have, it could be a way forward for me to keep taking to the water. It would be wonderful if we could get Tim's design into John Hesp's clever software and cutting system and create a HBBR One Design.

I have managed to buy a Mirage Drive on eBay which has come complete with a grp moulded housing for the drive and the mould tool to produce more housings.  My son suggested I really need a Mirage Drive submarine to avoid the wave motion. Unbelievably on the US WBF one has turned up. Built by the US Navy to compete in the Human Submarine competitions, here's a video showing these craft and the mirage drive in action just at the end of the video.

Perfect craft for the super inventive HBBR members to avoid all this rain.
