Flippin' the Boat

In any other small boat sailing context, this would not be any issue.  However, in this case ... well ... it was a bit more complicated.  We reversed the process we used to get the boat onto the ground, and block-by-block raised the boat back up into the air, and then got it to roll the other direction when we started letting it back down.  You have to be sure to have extra slip space on each side of you, as you literally are flipping it over with the keel as the pivot point.  Here are a few pictures of the adventure.


In this last picture, you can see the QuickFair on the Port side, and the unsanded, only slightly ground out Starboard side.  Time to start grinding and sanding all over again.
