The wooden frame to lift the engine with must be very stable. Test with your own body that it's completly stable in all directions. Used double lifting devices to make the engine to move sidewards. Used plywood and soft material to protect the opening of the entrance to the boat. Shifted to a support over the entrance to the boat to get the engine into the thunnel. It was surpricing easy to get the engine in the right position. Checked with feeler gaugh that it was perfect aligned with the straight axis. The engine supports are flat and the the adjustment plates are under the supports. Those had not been changed when the engine was lifted out of the boat. As the alignment was absolutely perfect, I do not expect to even have to check when the boat comes into water.

This is the sail we hope to never use. Ever. But like so many other safety measures, it gives us peace of mind just knowing itâs there. Itâs a storm jib â đ§Ąbright orangeđ§Ą so that if we ever do need it, visibility wonât be a problem (because thatâs definitely a moment weâll want to be seen). Itâs designed to be set over our furling system where the genoa normally lives, so we donât have to wrestle down a huge sail on deck in the middle of a storm. Just roll out the storm jib, and itâs ready â”ïž No, we hadnât seen one like it before either. But it makes a whole lot of sense now. Have you seen one like this before?
