We are bringing forward the building of an extension onto our house.
Unfortunately, where the boat is now sitting is about where the new dining room window will be.
So I need to get the boat to the stage where I can flip it.
I'm guessing that if I finish the ply skin and then glass the hull, I can flip it and move it. Later I'll need to flip it again to paint it, but I can live with that.
I need to think about how I will support it when I flip back it for painting, or I suppose I could tilt it up at 60deg and paint one side, then go around the other side and do the same.
If I go to flip it back over for painting, should I wait to put on the deck until I've righted it ? Or will the deck give it better rigidity to avoid damage in the flipping ?
It's a Glen L 14, so the extra work in flipping it twice is not a show stopper.
Anything I should know before I embark on this course of action ?
