shipping containers

[Boblee]

Good posts JT
Very informative for others wishing to try it, from the factory they are shipped fairly well and all come here in containers as any o/s boats must go through the factory appointed company, any other method of exporting means the factory disowns the boats for any warranty etc.
Was tempted to cut the container wheels off but will leave them there now.

Here's more pics from the birth of our boat from it's container.

The wheels, axles and guards were stored on pallets that were nailed to the container floor.





It's a very tight fit, the sled worked quite well.



The sled had the timber rails on the bottom angled to help get the complete package into the container.

Woooow, JT.

Your Mac must be the most traveled Mac in the world, even it wasn't under its own sails all the time.

I may have sold the most travelled Mac in the US, before it got put in the water.
It went from the Mac factory to Chicago, where it should have gotten off the train.
Instead, it went as far east as Mass., if I remember correctly.
Then back to Chicago.
Up to Wisconsin where a customer picked it up, towed it back thru Chicago and back to the east coast.
