An Olson 30 is the biggest I've seen dry sailed off
a hoist. I've seen bigger boats hauled with a travel
lift and stored on cradles. IDLER an N/M 50 comes
to mind. What do you think that boat weighs? I'm
sure it is a light boat, but it is still a 50 footer!

It must be hard to find a hoist big enough for an Aphrodite.
Most hoists are designed for much less weight--J-24s
Etchells and there abouts.

Doug did you see the pictures under "Tricks" where the
owner of an Aphordite 101 installed hooks so he could
use a hoist to launch it?

No I missed that. It's a little big to handle on a dolly, don't you think?
But people dry-sail bigger boats.
