Charlie Jones Posted May 23, 2003 Posted May 23, 2003 got all set today and rolled the Princess right side up. Had the owner show up unexpectedly, so let him help. With my other helper, we had 190 years of experience at work and at 62 I was the kid First shot is the boat all rigged and ready to lift- Chain falls set up above temp frame and just at bulkhead 3. Harken blocks hanging from hooks and a heavy line run through the blocks and tied into a loop. 1x2s clamped inside and out at the sheer to protect the plywood edges.
