Main hull turned

Today, with the help of our friend, colleague and fellow sailor Raffaele and my son Giovanni (who lives in Scotland) we were able to turn  the main hull. We first rolled the hull outside on the cradles, removed those, temporarily laid the hull on two blocks, and rolled it upside down by hand on the flat dollies.

Here's the rest of the turning crew after taking the cradles away

and here's the hull upside down on the dollies. It was easy to do with a crew of 4 but I think it could have been done by two men alone. I estimate the weight at about 60 kg.

Finally, here's the hull back in the shop. A few things will have to be done before putting the bottom panels on, like planing the daggerboard trunk flush with respect to the bottom level.
