Leut Renovation 3 - Finally!
Its been a long wait but finally our leut is in the shed. Our previous attempts failed - but finally brute force prevailed. Only six guys, two fork lifts, twenty steel pipes and eight hours of continuous hard work were required to complete the task.
The knowledge of those involved made the whole task a lot easier - there must have been nearly 100 years of maritime industry experience working together.
The previous trailer was re-used sans the wheels. The fore and aft of the boat were raised and a section of the trailer were slid under each on top of pipes. Then, using a forklift at each end, the 5000kg boat was pushed, prodded, turned and dragged into the shed.
Many thanks to John, Nigel, Marcel, Tim, Morton, Jan, Lene and Jules.
