Plan of Procedure

  • Cut all pipes to proper lengths
  • *See drawings for dimensions
  • Drill 1/2” holes 1” from the edge of each 1’ PVC pipe
  • *See A and B labeled on Figure 4
  • Drill 1" hole through center of four-way PVC fitting
  • Drill three small 1/2" holes through the bottom 3” of the 1" thick PVC pipe
  • *This should yield 3 holes on either side, for a total of 6 holes
  • Drill 1" hole through the bottom of the container
  • *Hole must be centered, because this is where the 1” PVC pipe will be inserted through the container
  • Fit all pipes into appropriate fittings
  • *See Figure 7
  • Glue 1" pipe through center of the four-way fitting
  • Mold foam around pipe structure
  • *Go to a beach or sand box
  • *Dig a hole slightly bigger than intended hull dimensions
  • *Put connected pipes into sand at proper depth
  • *Fill hole with expanding foam, allow to set
  • *Extract hull from sand
  • *Sand down to proper shape/dimensions
  • Place container on to buoy
  • *1” pipe should fit through the center of the container’s bottom
  • Glue pipe to container from the inside of the container
  • Cap all exposed PVC pipe
  • *This will stop any water from leaking into the center of the hull
  • Cap the 1” pipe on the inside of the container
  • *This will stop any water damage on the equipment in case a lower level of water blockage fails
  • Insert shackle to 1" pipe's bottom
  • Attach anchor chain to shackle and through every outside exposed PVC pipe
  • Insert any equipment necessary
  • *This equipment is not determined yet, so exact steps are unattainable
  • Close container with watertight lid
