Joel Dry sailing is certainly viewed as a plus here. You can remove the bottom paint and spend quality time wet fairing and sanding. Only caution based on lifts in this area is to be sure the lift is drops deep enough. Depending on style etc you'll lose the equivalent of 6" or so of water depth. So be sure it'll work for you at low tide lest you find yourself clunking the cross member in your comings and goings. It is not like you can 'heel the boat' to get away from the dock if the tide is challenging and you are on a lift...

I'm looking at a house with a dock and a lift big enough to handle my boat. It would not get the entire keel out of the water, but could certainly get the hull out. any issues dry-sailing a keelboat? Should I sell the lift and keep the boat wet? -- Joel 35/3 Annapolis 301 541 8551 _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
