@leealibuildingtheblackswan2098 hi, yes, it's been a long time, nearly 2 weeks. Sorry to have made all the mistakes on the boat, but I think that you will find it hard to fit the other fairleads out far enuf to stop the ropes from marking the paint as with the moring ropes. I think you can get the open fairlands with the edge gards on I prefer the open fairlands for the centre line as it is easier to flip the ropes out when you are in a lock, as it is better to have the rope from the centre of the boat I found when it is locked in at the side and you rope around a bollard and you have large granite blocks the rope can get stuck in the joints and tip the boat up

My most hated lifts were boats. No good pick points to secure my straps. If you slung it from a single hook point the straps would try and slip without a spreader bar.The weight transfer from water to fully on the straps can fool you. Just rotating the boat can transfer weight away from you and pull you over. Glad you are going to be on the move, working on 2 boats was fun to watch. Your approach to fitting out a boat is by far the best I have seen. No over thinking and it was straight forward and good looking. Except the hatch HA. You and Lee should take on the road so to speak and do boat rescues.
