Dolly Ready
for Boat |
 |
|
Two pieces of 3/4-inch plywood, spiled to match the hull, are
attached to a welded steel frame. The frame is 4 feet by 7 feet
and on casters. Foam pipe insulation is fit over the plywood
edges. Strips of carpet are stapled to the plywood, securing
the foam and providing additional padding for the hull. |
|
Hull Prepared
for Turning |
 |
|
Mould-to-building-frame fasteners are removed. Spalls (or spreaders)
are lashed to the hull to keep the moulds in place during turning.
The moulds protect the hull during the roll. |
|
Hull Lifted
Off of Building Frame |
 |
|
Two layers of carpet padding are in place on the concrete driveway
to protect the gunwale. |
|
Boat Set
Down Gently on Gunwale |

|
Hull turning BEFORE beer! |
|
Boat Rolled
onto Keel |
 |
|
The crew repositions after the roll. Getting a grip on the boat
for lifting is more difficult when the boat is right side up. |
|
Boat Lowered
onto New Dolly |
 |
|
Mission accomplished. |
