Getting off the castles

In early Jan 09 I took the boat off 3 of the 4 castles to enable final welding underneath.



4 th castle under FR12 removed



3 rd castle under frame 8 getting loosend. I actually cut all the welds on one side and then beat the thing over on the uncut side.



Nearly out, it fell from this point and snapped all the welds

Built this adjustable pair of supports, similar to front one.

its lifting on a bulkhead point.

The bits are rated 4 ton each.

2 down 2 to go.
