Rollover...

Friends and family helped me roll the boat over to gain access to the bottom of the hull.  The boat was suspended from the ends and was lifted with come-alongs.

The boat was first lifted so that the building jig could be pulled out

Many hands were necessary to stow the building jig out of the way.

Bow lifting point

Safety lines were rigged to catch the boat in case
of failure of the lifting points 

The moment of truth as the hull just clears the supporting beam

This plug goes in the motor well when under sail
Two layers of 80mm wide glass taping are added
to the chines in preparation for fairing
