New AD14 build

[jacquesmm]

You can roll it alone if well planned: a bunch of tires, a couple of tackles.
Install the rubrail or a fake rubrail before rolling. The load on that edge must be spread over the length of the boat.
If you have to push or block with a support, do it at the frame locations.

I rolled my boat a few times during construction by myself I used some herk straps and a come along it worked just fine the biggest thing is to put a third line on it limiting how far it will role over and not hit anything in the process the come along works well as it is easy to shorten or extend as needed My biggest problem came in getting it high enough to get it on the trailer I was working in an old car port it was shakey but it worked out ok.

Hi George,
Me stupid Austrian dont understand what is a come along. As I have to roll the boat soon to its side I would do it like you mentioned here. Did you use 2 straps and the third one is the " come along " ? I have 4 straps at the frame positions and have lifted the boat with them easily. I think it will be best just to use 2 straps at frame B and D and then try and roll it with your come along.
I can hold the boat back with a strap going round the frame C, the companionway and the already cut out handle on the side to prevent it tilting too much. On your pictures one can see that you leaned it against the carport supports. I have no such possibility and therefore I will put thick pieces of styrofoam on the floor and some wooden support at frame A C and the transom.
Please give us your opinion. I hope the New AD14 build guy wont mind that I discuss it on his thread. It might help him too.

It is a ratcheting hand winch. Small ones are usually 2 ton rated when doubled and larger ones can be 5 ton or more doubled. Half that if it is used without the pulley doubled back. I bought a four ton model and use it without the pulley 95% of the time.

Hi Barry,
Thank you for the info about the come along. I even have got one like that and used it to lift my 60 kg centreboard even that it said one should only use it for pulling. I never thought about it anymore but it will come in handy to pull my boat to the side.

No problem. I can't add much about boat building but chime in on parts that I can help with.

I very much appreciate the discussion since I will need to figure out how to do this. I have a bunch of come alongs and that picture of using it mounted to a stake in the ground is a good thought. I will still need to build supports on my jig to hold it on its side, along with the temporary rub rail mentioned. I was thinking foam padding for protection on the top surface.

All I can say is, when you flip take some pictures or videos. These can be pretty entertaining.
Have you seen this?

Thanks Tony,
The video is very informative and I am sure I can do it all by myself with all the maschines I have. My brotherinlaw got himself a cheap sortof Gopro camcorder and he can document my flip of the boat.
