Hello Mika, and df1000 owner,
I lost old genoa (stolhen!) do you have more precise dimension of it?.
Best regards

To put my df1000 ashore i will not use any craddle this year.
Does someone experience that?.

We put the boat ashore without pb with the harness. It is very safty because of correct position with the center of gravity and no pb with speedo. The crane must be high enough to be above the backstays when in lifting position. For the craddle, we choose to build it in wood, it is more simple for m...

Thank you Larry,
I don't see the crane complily on your picture.
I think the crane must be a mobile one so that it can go between the backstays and the mast where the gravity center is.
The crane of our marina only rotate so the backstays are a problem.
We have to go in an other marina.

Is it possible to put the boat on wood blocks on the front and rear of the keel during the time of painting. Best is the craddle...

Did you get strong wind conditions?.
How is the boat in that conditions?.
You say you know your boat very well now, do you have problems during your 8,000 miles?

Response yes,
We did it this summer 2010.
