Crane to flip keel and move hull


A 50 Ton crane was used to flip the keel in order to paint it's port side.  The hull got also moved 80 cm to the rear in order to paint the masked berth resting areas.  The keel and bulb are very stable once placed upright.  With a rope attached to the top plate three people were unable to tilt her down.  The crane had to pull her side wise to make her tilt to the other side.

The port rear side rest area during the paint phase with three layers on.
