Jacare,Brasil,yacht Baraka on the poles

Left click any picture to view full screen and see how far off the mud the drying cradle went!

Sharon and Ian have lots to do,a quick clean then get that antifoul on!


Baraka settled nose down,I have no idea why,must be balance?Thats Sharon and a rare shot of Brian Stevens in the front to the right of the picture.


The team giving a welcome hand,sending your shore lines over takes time,the period of slack water really seemed short when you had to secure fast before the tide turns,the actual drying rig is in effect a position in space and a reference point,it will stop you leaning inwards but not outwards,as the frame is loose on the river bank,so your shore lines have to do all the work.
Baraka,an Endurance design in ferro,was one of the many to take adavantage of the drying rig we had set up,as Frank Sinatra once sang I did it my way!
