Hello all.
I need to lift the boat out this winter to sort props out. The yard I usually use is not an option. My other options involve providing the supports etc myself. I can get some legs locally and sleepers for under the keel are plentiful.
Having not done this before I am naturally cautious.
I have read all I can find online but thought I'd ask here out of interest. Does anyone else do this themselves?
Attached are pics of the boat on the yards stuff last year, and the legs I can get locally.
Boat weighs about 6 tonnes.
So....
Lift, set on sleepers while on the slings and pop in props, screw them up tight and brace with straps or similar. Remove slings. Simple?
