I miss POTD

This is a shot of Banshee (Ranger 29) in the 165 ton sling at Front Street Shipyard spring 2012, she looks like a toy boat in their sling. BTW they ruined my knot meter wheel with the straps.
Later that summer they decided they needed a bigger lift and ordered their new 465 ton lift which is now in operation. This was Banshee's last ride in their sling, because in the middle of last summer they announced they were no longer delivering boats. I love what Front Street has done in Belfast but this miffed those of us who are DIY owners, as they bought out the one yard that catered to the DIY crowd and then dropped their delivery service. I now use Belmont boatworks for haul and launch, save a $100 each way.
