See full version: Ideas to flip a boat over
In the spirit of helpfulness this board fosters, I'll suggest an idea no one has tried yet here: Forget turning the boat over. Instead, bungee yourself to the ceiling with a harness on your body under the boat, so the bungees hold you near the hull for easy sanding/painting
Yes sir. Looks just like that. All mahogany except it is a little smaller. I believe that is a 22' and my fathers is 18'
you dont neet to use the fork lift or a tow truck. two trees will do here
The keel (or keels) is, therefore, an essential part of any boat and is a part of all sailboats. here
Fin keel: A fin keel is shorter and deeper in length relative to the overall length of the hull, and it is well separated from the rudder. here
Centerboard: They are not a keel, but they are often used in place of a keel. They can be easily lowered or raised by the crew. When raised, they cause a reduction in the draft and wetted surface. When lowered, they perform all the benefits of a keel. [links]
Next, we will see how we can stop a boat from capsizing. more
Instability: To prevent your sailboat from capsizing, you need to avoid instability in the boat. Instability can be caused by too much weight in the boat. Ensure you do away with any unnecessary weight on board. more
This can happen during collisions with: [links]
In most cases, this happens for one of two reasons: [links]
On the other hand, once a catamaran or trimaran yacht does capsize, it cannot right itself. A monohull yacht can usually right itself after it capsizes. more
Before buying a boat, people often think about the dangers of doing so.
For example, one open kitchen drawer could lead to knives flying around the cabin during the capsize. Even if all of the cabinets and items inside the boat were secure, the passenger could still be injured from falling. more
A boat could also swamp if the transom were to come off. In this case, water would come in through the stern and could certainly swamp the boat.
We just want to redo some of the weak planks, seal it up, and repaint it with the copper paint. We may opt to do this upright. We will then sand, replace some upper planks, then refinish the rest of the boat. Not trying to make a show winner, just a very nice usable boat.

Our ideas:
Build a rotisserie
Use heavy duty ratchet straps hanging secured to the beams. The thought is as we ratchet from one side the boat will begin to rotate and eventually with some help, roll over. The reality is it the boat will probably just slip. We don't think this is a very good idea.
But I saw another home-built contraption, (can't find the site now naturally) and it's really quite clever. You take boat outdoors and basically build two frames. Then you attach ply to the frames and cut into large circles. (Think of of your boat piercing the holes of two donuts.) Once the circles are secure and reinforced, it's relatively easy to roll the boat over to any degree. You can also save the circles for future work. As I remember, the builder was working on something like a 30 footer. here

Structurally very strong. The boat has never been restored. However, it was well maintained and used in a NY lake up until about 4 years ago.
