Good practice though before you do it in the dark.........

And better film for the publicity department.

Plus awesome trimming practice for the 1st Lt. And the Ship Control Officer Of The Watch.

In my case with my hard nesting dinghy which lives upside down on the foredeck, I pick up each half, put it right side up and drop it into the water. Each half has its own painter so take the painters aft, climb into the stern section, garbe the bow section and mate them together. This is actually easier to do when floating than when on dry land.
Critical Control Point. Don't let go of the painter for the bow section as it blows downwind quite quickly!View attachment 132586

Queue John Clarke "The front fell off" video for the 453rd time...

Presumably No1 has to buy everyone a drink if the torpedo tubes end up as a vertical launch system?

I chuck mine over the side then dive in after it!
Probably looks less cool .....

It'd be VERY cool if you tried it in the Solent right now. Sea temp is about 9˚
