Roll Me over ( not like the last time )

Section 4 is ready to leave the garage , so need to make space outside . Removed section 2 of the hull from the rotate cradle and moved the cradle back round  the front yard  , rotated and positioned in place above Section 3 that has been sitting ready for it .

Time to rock and roll:


Bit by bit  , up she goes




Taking my time , slowely but surely



Balance point now  , time to move the chain from the pull side to the brake side




Now back down the other side ( nice and slowely ) . Chain has been attached to the reverse upper point on the cradle .


Almost there !



Phew !! , Down !! , and no crash this time !!



Now that this piece is the right side up , can now fit more of the internal structure , plywood bracing floors  added to the frames , internal structual keel and the false floor supports . As this is one of the middle sections of the hull , not much in the way of hull shape changes  , put plenty of space . This is the port hull , this section ( roughly  7 ft by 16 ft )  will contain a small workshop area , in the starboard hull it contains a utility room under the main kitchen area for processing of laundry etc  . There is more hull side to be added (  24 "  on the outer side ) , and it will end up with  6 ' 6 " of usable headroom . This side meets up with the 45 degree section of the wingdeck  , fully loaded  displacement waterline is approx 12" up from the chine .
