Starwind 223 'PERFECTION' 2012 Pull Out (09/01/2012)

This is a video of PERFECTION (Starwind 223 sailboat) Pull Out on 09/01/2012. Due to some engine problems, I decided to pull her out early and put my Seaward Fox 'Arrogance' in the water the next day to finish out the 2012 Sailing Season. On this day, there was no wind, no current and the water was as smooth as glass. It was the easiest pull out I have ever had with PERFECTION. Unfortunately there is no sound to the video.

 

Enjoy the youtube video.

Seaward Fox 'ARROGANCE' End of Season Pullout

With Hurricane Sandy (Nickname: Franken Storm) threatening the mid-Atlantic and Northeast in a few days, sailing season came to an early end for me and many others. 'ARROGANCE', my SeaWard Fox 17, was pulled out on October 26, 2012. In the shorten video, 'ARROGANCE' approaches the dock as my son assists while I jump off and head for the truck and trailer to retrieve her. The 2 white, 2 inch, 10 foot long, PVC Pipes extending from the trailer at about 15 degrees, form a nice guide that centers 'ARROGANCE'. With a shoal keel with a wing, centering is very important. In a few moments she is on the trailer, hooked up and up the ramp we go to the tie down area.
