Now you guys and gals can see why I learned so much from Craig on that maiden voyage.  Read back through his posts and see just how resourceful and capable he is.

But...like me, he doesn't get it perfect every time...hmmm, maybe that's why the 50-90 rule works for me, my mentor showed me how to do things!

Glad you got it done Craig!

Hi Craig/ Kent

With all that experience and such swift engine removal I was just wondering for future reference, ahead of cruising off myself finally and in case I ever need to do it, how do you lift your engine out?

Do you use the boom and which halyard and winch? Is it strong enough? Any tips for the group?

Thanks for sharing this Craig and Kent.

Hi Colin!  Don't ask me...that's above my pay grade. I've always had a yard do the heavy lifting.

Craig is the master...he's repowered Sangaris on his own, and replaced all his standing rigging, and repainted her bottom  by leaning Sangaris against a wall in a ?20ft tidal basin, and...

I'm in awe!
