little boat, Turtle, being launched after a year on the hard recovering from the beating she took from hurricane IKE. On a cradle, on a flatbed so it took 5' of water to launch a 3'3" draft boat. Gravity assit cable/winch launch went better than I could have hoped for. So far all the water is still on the outside. I haven't had chance to sail her yet but eventually the weather will cooperate...........m
