The evening was overcast with some rain that contributed to the thin turn out. Never the less, all that attended went away with some tips and had to opportunity to work other people and iron out some of the kinks in their procedures. View the above links for a lot of good information,

All boats must be prepared before moving to the lift

Many hands (out of their pockets) make the job go faster

Each dry sail boat has its own lifting rig

Lots of good tips
