Well after all the trials and tribulations of the last month or so Wraith finally went in,

Can't ever get used to pride and joy swinging about overhead, glad when she touched down

Quick scurry below to check all is well,

The engine is back in though not running yet, mast raising is set for saturday all being well. Then we can get on with inside. Mike.

Did I tell you about this bloke I knew who used a laser level? W/line perfect forward and aft, 3" too high to stbd amidships, 3" too low to port amidships? He even painted it on (3 coats 2 pack) before he realised. Funny thing is he had a Shipman 28 named 'Wraith' as well. DOH!!!!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif. Mike.

Did "this Bloke" have his hull slightly out of vertical?

 

[mickshep]

Nope, he spent ages with a jack, (dead chuffed with himself he was!) Due to space constraints he had the laser just 10' from the hull at one side, about 25' at the other. slight rise in ground level did the rest, what a plonker /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif.

The more I see of your boat's lines and finish the more envious I become and regretful that I didn't persevere after just missing one for sale some time back!

Great job- well done

So you're not calling her Harold then?
