Thanks for posting that.
The roller trick looks a good one.
I prefer the way you attach the ratchet straps to the mid ships cleats, rather than over the boat, as Bob showed me. I can never quite reach to connect the strap.

Brilliant video and very helpful. I've built a cradle for mine, its a bit rough and ready but seems to work. Hadn't realise I could leave the bowsprit rigged and lashed up like that. At the moment I have the spars stashed in the cabin but having seen how its done I will get sail cover and then I can lash to spars to mast. I'll take some pictures of and once I figure out how to upload them I'll post them on this thread.
Thanks

Not bad at all.
It would be a huge shame to have done all that work and not actually tow her anywhere. I hope we'll see you out and about for a meet up with us later this year.
