Slinging a 32/35

Post by Veebyes2 »

Somebody was asking about this not too long ago. I knew I had this pic, film camera. Had to find it & scan it. Hope it helps whoever was asking.

No shots of the crane, a very large crawler type. I'd guess, given what it loads onto the ship, that the boat is not even 10% of its lifting capacity.

A close friend of mine is a rigger, I get shot's like your emailed to me every week, minus the Albin :wink:

I forwarded him your picture and I know the question is coming "Where's the crane picture?"

Not sure of the quality of Taiwan builders nowadays; but I have a friend with a 36 trawler probably early 80's. He found a nice aluminum yardstick in the bilge; cleaned it up and started using it for projects; but every time he cut something it was too short. Turned out it wasn't metric; but whatever system they were using in Taiwan at that time; was just a little short of american measure. Now it's just an interesting decoration on the workshop wall.
