Sorry, but to win the Darwin Award you must remove yourself from the Gene pool. Although the boat isn't in the water yet, so there is still a possibility.

Caption: Dear, can you come out of the cabin and help me a minute?

Mike - the concept here is that this guy will surely win one, he is just in training.

Andy - did you move the R from Brought in order to Put it in Darwin?

I'm confused! Is he using the mast step to lift the boat? I can't believe it.

I don't think he is, I see a line or a cable going into the cabin.

I can't say for certain in this case, but many many 24 and under boats use a cable that attaches to the keel from inside the cabin for lifting and launching. That cable or strap is then kept centered with 2 or 4 lines using the cabintop winches and some deck cleats. Boats like that also stow their outboard prior to retrieval.

What I can say for certain is that his attachment point isn't near his center of gravity

I also can't tell for sure, but the coffing lift looks to be slightly undersized

Looks like a couple of rocket boosters and he's ready for his first suborbital. I hear that commercial space flight is quite the hot investment.

From up there on the bow, there is a good view of the crane instructions.
1) no riders
2) secure both bow and stern prior to lifting
3) Operator must be certified
4) Attach Straps to hooks
4) Read all instructions prior to use

Mike that comment about your wife in the cabin should get you a month's silence. My wife would be steaming for a week

I am not sure which Mike is being referred to, but my wife would get a kick out of my comment. She still laughs about the time she went into the cabin to get me a bottle of water. When she turned around a puff of wind heeled the boat over and she missed the first step on the companionway ladder.

Now I must admit she doesn't like sail anything unless the boat sits flat. I am still working on that part and may very well get to move up to a bigger boat so she feels more comfortable. Yeah, I know, but don't tell her OK?

My wife gets nauseous when going down below. Its almost like she's free diving. She'll go done below for a minute then pop her head up through the hatch and take a few breaths, then go back down for another minute or so, then come back up for air.
