In construction she got 2 coats of each: epoxy, primer and paint. After now over 9 years since launch and many miles under her keel, UNA is ready for a refresh. Despite all her bumps and scrapes, she is still beautiful! Iain Oughtred has an eye for the sweet line.
I doubled over two 4″ wide x 30′ nylon straps, shackled the massive “D” rings overhead and fastened the opposite end with jury rigged block and tackle to hoist the old girl, remove the trailer and substitute long saw horses. Then with safety lines to control the rotation, a come-along strung across the garage allowed for a manageable flip.
The worst of the wear is at the keel and bow stem where the naval brass half oval is just shy of covering the timber. We’ll need to rethink whether to replace the brass with wider bits. That will be a heavier look.
Now the fun begins-
Lingering Lunacy 
I need to do this in the worst way
Wasn’t too hard. And, a solo effort! All on YouTube showed loads of hands. Had to go slow. Took maybe 2 hours once I had fashioned the straps. Lots of tentative moves, but safely.
Nice to see the winter work… no small deal getting her off the treiler, upside down and back. You make it se
Thanks. Lots to do before the “back” part.
Looks new from here! Nice work!
Much more elegant than the six people, arms aflutter, that I rounded up. Well done!

Thanks. Paint is on now. Had to wait for temps to rise. Hope to get her flipped this week.
