WTB: Single tank BP/W rig

dsteding · Post by **dsteding** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 1:20 pm

I'm piecing together a rig for my girlfriend, I need a single tank wing (~30 pounds lift) and possibly a stainless steel plate with a hogarthian harness.

If anyone has such things lying around, send me a PM. If not, Matt, I'll be bugging you.

Steel plate? I thought this was geared towards travel?? No kydex to try first?

I have an aluminum plate and harness minus the crotch strap you can have if you want it, Doug.

Well, if I can just find a wing, I'll set her up with my kydex plate and call it good-we'll see how it shakes out. If she's in the kydex, I'll be traveling with my SS plate.

She'll probably be in a 5/4 mm suit, so will need ~8-10 pounds of lead total. The kydex plate would work with lead on the cam bands, and be really light to travel, but a SS plate would work fine as well. All depends on what I can find.

Lynne? You still have those jet fins in a size large? I may take those off your hands, I think they'll work fine for her with neoprene booties.

That could work too-what brand is the al plate? I'm going to try and find something that will work without an STA.

The Halcyon wings have rods sewn into them so you don't need an STA. I cut small slits and removed them so I could use an STA for the extra unditchable weight.

no clue on the brand- it came with my Megalodon, and has no markings or stamps on it. With the amount of weight I need to sink, I doubt it would be usefull to me even in warm water, IF I ever do warm water, that is. Another buddy just PMed me and told me he wants it if you don't, but I offered it to you first, so let me know.

Thanks for the offer Nailer-let it go to your buddy. Matt just swooped in and gave me a great deal-typical first class NWSD service.

Merry Christmas all.

And to you as well- I swear, the hairs on the back of Matt's neck start to quiver when he senses one of us in need of gear- it's uncanny!

The dude has serious geardar, aka the ability to sense a sale in the making. Okay, so I dropped him a note-but the geardar is impressive nonetheless.
