First ever 5.80 crash, then roll over…!
Well for the first time ever two 5.80s have traded paint. On the way out of the shop, hull 79 scraped hull 113. Good news that it was just primer. Once outside, the crane picked up and then rolled hull 79 right side up.
The boat at this point weighed 880 lbs (400 kg) according to the crane operator. I used furniture dollies to roll the strongback out, and the same dollies to roll the cradle back into the shop. From crane hook up to set down it was 32 minutes of fun, (but I had to rent the crane for four hours).
The next few pictures are the deck beams and cabin sides going together, all the jobs now are flying along and going well.
I adopted a donor boat, to harvest lead and a few more goodies. I stripped the boat as best as I could, then went to the shipyard to haul the boat out. I cut the boat up with a Sawzall (reciprocating saw). It was a lot of work, but did get 800 lbs (362.8 kg) of lead ingots from the keel. I’m bringing a new boat into the world, I took an old boat out of the world. I think far more boats are being built than being recycled, but that’s a different topic…
