Robert Cox Posted February 3, 2003 Posted February 3, 2003 Well, we finally got around to turning Star Chaser over and setting her on the trailer. I thought I would show off some pictures of the event. In this picture we already have her turned over and are contimplating the best way to get her on the trailer We decided to simply lift the Boat straight up while Doug and Jim rolled the trailer under the boat. Once we had the keel into the channel about half way on we just pushed the boat the rest of the way on. Here we're congratulating ourselfes for a job well done and yes, even the ladies helped this time. And, here's the crew minus Dad who took the picture. Star Chaser on her trailer. The whole process took about 10 minutes and was relatively painless. Now if only the top sides where done and the rig on her. I'm ready to go sailing. Bob 8) Quote
kevgrn114 Posted February 3, 2003 Posted February 3, 2003 Looks great on this board too Robert. Have you pulled it on that tandem axle yet? I haven't started shopping for trailers yet. I used to have asingle axle trailer that would be perfect. I wish I had kept it now. :microwave: Kevin Quote
T. Nelson Surbrook Posted February 3, 2003 Posted February 3, 2003 There is an old saying that "many hands make light work" I can see how this is true here. Good job and the boat looks great! You seem to be doing a fine job. Way to go! :wink: Quote
Johannah Posted February 3, 2003 Posted February 3, 2003 Bob, that's just a wonderful, satisfying result. Good work crew is the secret but now that you have shown us the crew, which one's your mum and which is you and who's the kid? Sorry, thus the female mind. Is your dad in the other pics? Quote
Robert Cox Posted February 3, 2003 Author Posted February 3, 2003 Ok Johanna, I was avoiding this. In the first picture the fat guy to the right with the mustache is me. Ya, I know, I need to go on a diet. The tall guy to the left in the same picture is Dad. In the crew picture, mom is in the red shirt. No, the other female is not my wife or girlfriend, she is a friend of the family. She's my unofficial adopted sister. Long story. The kid belongs to the other guy with the big cheesy mustache behinde me in the picture. Now you know who we are. :roll: Bob 8) Quote
Robert Cox Posted February 3, 2003 Author Posted February 3, 2003 Oh, just as an after thought. That is Knut Garshol in front of me on my right in the crew picture. He's the other builder/forumite from here in South Florida. He's building a Weekender. Bob 8) Quote
