Hello. Great Forum.
I have three sunfish, 1969, 1976, 2008. I'd like to store them over the water alongside a dock. The winds and water get quite rough on occasion and the tide is variable, since we are along the Gulf Coast and are subject to tropical storms. Anyone have a suggestion on using a pulley system to hoist the sunfish hulls up and then slide them into a berth alongside a dock? Ideally the stystem would be easy enough for a child to raise a hull approx ten feet in the air and get the hull could rest in a berth. I haven't been able to figure out how to raise and lower the hull without the berth resting boards being in the way while the boat is being hoisted or lowered.
Has anybody in the forum tackle this themselves? If so, would you be knid enough to provide a sketch and/or suggestion of approach?
