Canada Update

Post by gdcardoza »

Hey all,

Haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I'd re-introduce myself again;

I'm Graham Cardoza, from Ontario, Canada. I purchased a 1984 10 meter Trojan International mid summer and have done a lot of work and cruised with it all summer.

Some of you may remember my original posting;

Anyways, the boat has run excellent all summer and is now blocked and unhappy!!!

Here's some updated photos;

hi graham, welcome back. don't be a stranger. great pics btw..... love how you have her on a lift. wish i could do the same for my lady from time to time as it keeps the bottom cleaner and allows for the hull to dry.

you're right, my mistake. from a quick look on my part, i thought it was a lift. only human.

graham, looking at the raft up, i see one of the boats was not only flying the canadian flag, but the israeli flag too!! (my eyes DID catch that one detail!)
do you know the israeli flag boat? just curious.

Aaron,

Look closer, both boats that are rafted up are flying that flag!

I know both guys as they're my neighbors in the marina!

The third picture down needs to be framed. Would look good on a wall.

OK, I give up. How do you get the boat in and out of the water or is that just winter storage? And if it is winter storage, how do you work on the bottom?

Can you see the steel "I" Beams on pics 6 and 7 overhead? They use a lift with straps that runs along that "I" Beam to lift the boats, then put them down onto the wooden beams.
The boat can be lifted higher, and platform made under the boat on the beams to do your work.
Some marinas have individual lifts for each dock, but that is mega $$

This is for winter storage. Four chainfalls (manual or electric), one on each corner, two slings; one at the bow for the two forward chainfalls and one aft. Lift up then sit her on timbers. Newer places will have the "I" beams so you can roll the chainfalls over to the next boat.

Work done off a raft, dinghy, whatever you have, or wait 'till it freezes and stand on the ice.

Very common for covered slip marinas, and there are quite a few up here. Uncovered slip boats get hauled on land and wrapped.
