After draining TRACKER's bilge, Skipper towed the work dolly around to the Sunfish Shack. But first the John Deere E130 WILEY had a chat with an excavator, which was visiting the Mid Atlantic Station to extend our driveway.
Skipper never moved anything heavy in the theater without a block and tackle, so she designed a Sunfish/Sailfish hoist for us to use, utilizing nice bronze Alcort hardware and vintage Sunfish sheets. One end of the sheet snap shackles to a repurposed bridle eyestrap.
The sheet runs under the boat and then through a halyard block.
One end of the boat is lifted and the sheet gets tied off to a halyard cleat.
Voila! We have also found that it is easy to turn the boats over while they are in the hoist, a great side benefit.
