Haul-Outs:
The ways are a major feature for our shop. Most wood boat owners like the older system because of its minimal impact to the hull structure. The ways were built new in 2003, replacing the existing cart that was in service for more than 40 years.
The ways are 36 feet long. Five 12 x 12 H-beams over 10 mining cart wheels ride along the railroad track. There are 4 upright bunks that adjust to the shape of the hull and ultimately support the boat as it is extracted from the water.
The winch is a 10hp 3-phase electric motor. There is a 4-speed transmission. In the lowest gear the ways travels at 1 foot per minute.
