Boat Flipped – Thursday, June 6, 2013—After rubbing out the sides with some over-priced marine rubbing compound, discovered that one man could flip the boat back over to the normal position.  Even though it weighs about 400 lbs, the shape of the flat deck makes it easier than fighting the round bottom when you start with the keel on the ground.  Didn’t break my foot, but it is sore.  Finally asked the neighbors to put down their drinks and lift it on to the trailer.  As soon as some lights get set up, it will be ready to go.  Now to pull out the photos and put on the standing rigging. 

 

Wish I had painted the topsides because now the bottom looks better than than the hull above the water-line--oh well, maybe next spring.  It has been a long three months since the boat came home, and I am anxious to actually go sailing.
