| Mr Jinks has been rolled on her dollies stern on to the workshop doors, and the crane is made fast to a lifting bar through the weed hatch. |
|
| The crane lifts her off the stern dolly, and starts to slowly pull her back with the bow still resting on the dolly. |
|
| As she edges out, the shine on her paintwork catches the sun on a glorious afternoon (and you don't get many of them in Hyde). |
|
| With the forward dolly now at the workshop door, the crane sets her down ready to switch over for the main lift. |
|
| Now using the main lifting strops, the crane takes the strain to lift her off the forward dolly. |
|
| And slowly starts to edge the bow towards the door. |
|
| Nearly out! |
|
| Finally clear of the building, ready to be hoisted upwards. |
|
| The trailer backs underneath as she hangs there slightly stern down (I'd prefer spreader bars to keep the strops further apart, but I'm told they haven't dropped one yet) |
|
| With the trailer underneath, they start to lower her as the sun shines brightly. |
|
| As she goes onto the trailer, we get a view of the stunning shape of the bow. |
|
| Nearly down. |
|
| Safely down. |
|
| Free of the crane. |
|
| Ready to go... |
|
| And she swings out of the yard on her way to the boat show. See you there!! |
