Yeah, if you try to put the lag bolt in vertically you could be asking for a

problem. Put that off season ratchet block to work and you won't have a problem at all. I wouldn't bother with all the work of building a frame or anything. If you really want to part with money, there's the Harken Hoister system that will do what you want. (Peter loves it when I give him a plug!) www.harken.com But, even $1 pulleys from the hardware store, strategically placed, will do the job. The drill the hole option with a piece of rope will do, too. I can lift half a Sunfish with little trouble. Hoisting it is less trouble. Hope this helps. Hope you can heat the space. (Recommend against painting unless you absolutely must. Better to polish the hull if it can be salvaged, even with a couple imperfect spots. Paint scratches relatively quickly and then has to be stripped (hard to do off fiberglass) and redone ... I've spent too much time stripping paint off painted boats, so I know!) Good luck!

Subject: Re: [sunfish_sailor] Winter storage of sunfish in garage How about just drill holes in the joists where you need them, pass a line (old sheet, etc) through them and under boat, do everything with line. I like simple solutions, no wood to cut, nail/screw, buying hardware - yuk. If you have extra blocks lying around, use them to create a purchase 2,4,6 to 1, be innovative and cheap. Its all about simple and cheap. ----- Original Message ----- From: nac20032002 To: sunfish_sailor@... Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 2:07 PM Subject: [sunfish_sailor] Winter storage of sunfish in garage Apologies to all if this is an old one. I was given an aged sunfish and I'd like to move it indoors over the winter while I restore it. I'd like to be able to hoist it above my carspace in the garage, and lower as required. I only have access to the underside of the joists. I read somewhere that lag bolt style eyebolts aren't safe as the wood thread cannot be relied on. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of project? I was thinking of a frame built from 2x4s and shaped appropriately where the cross sections meet the deck.
