Finally! I have finished harvesting all the parts and hardware from the “Donor Boat” (1975 Olympic Dolphin 23’ sloop). This past week, I was able to move the boat to an out of the way location on our farm and get it off the trailer (that came with the boat) working by myself. I used my tractor loader bucket, chains, and some other equipment to aid in getting the job done.
Now the trailer can be gone over, inspected, reconfigured for my new sailboat, painted, and made ready for its new life.
The weather is still unsettled and quite funky with t-shirt weather in the early afternoons and rain showers in late afternoon. Mornings are still below freezing most of the time and the other day, we woke up to a coating of snow on the ground! Ayuh! This is Downeast Maine!
Here’s the video:
