We've Been hauled at Cracker Boy Boat Yard in Palm Beach. It has a lift that can fit us, allows us to do our own work, and has available many talented professionals available when I screw up.
While here, "Speedboat" is being put back together and launched. Amazing, She is 100 feet long, her keel is 15' and mast 130+. They needed to bring in two construction cranes to put her together. That entails lifting the hull, placing it on the keel which is bolted in place, then the mast goes in, then the whole massive thing is lifted and carried to the pit where is is very carefully lowered into the water. Then she heads to Newport for the Bermuda race.
This by the way is the boat Bronson chartered to break the TransAtlantic record and is considered the fastest monohull in the world. She is utterly amazing.
