Good going!
That's a weird travelhoist, with the crossways beam at the bottom rather than the top. I cannot figure out why they would make one like that because it limits the boat it can carry according to length as well as weight.

That's a Wise slipway hoist, you have to go quite a way in the water with it to then pick up or launch boat. There's one at Fambridge, Cobbs Quay had one when I was last there, they are not very easy to use when lifting from trailer.

Good to see a purchase go through quickly and smoothly, especially when so far from home.

Nice boat and good old Geoff and boat transport. Used him for all of our boat moves over the years.

@Avalon:
Did you take the opportunity to visit Bilbao a bit? Lovely town, one of my preferred in Spain.
Great find anyway, she really looks mint. Looking forward to your "maiden cruise" report!

Yes, we were there from Friday to Monday so had a chance to look round, really liked it. Hotel Carlton on Plaza Moyua was excellent, loved the Pintxos and Wine in the bars! and the Guggenheim ..... and Puppy.......

Lots more to see and do, we are planning to go back.
