Looks like a way to do it but I wonder how you could ever get the boat to heel over that much? I do not see any sails up in the photos so it cannot be wind doing it. None of the 3 sailboats I have owned would heel like that unless you pulled them over with a line to the top of the mast. Even under sail I can barly get the toerail in the water and that is only when I have too much sail up for the weather conditions.
I looked again at the photos and I see that they must have bags of water tied to the mast top.
Keylimejay, a member of this site took those pictures in Vero Beach last Thanksgiving morning. The guy made his way down the entire east coast heeling his boat under every bridge with 2 huge yellow bags filled with water hanging from his mast.
Yes, I took those last Thanksgiving. Surprisingly, I was later contacted by YachtWorld magazine and they paid me to allow them to use the pics in their magazine. Wow!! Never even thought about being published. Pretty cool.
I, being fasinated by what this fellow had done, posted the photos on several websites. YachtWorld sent me an email at the Jeanneau website asking to publish them (and paying me). We communicated via email and I forwarded them (email) the pics and they sent me a check! Another magazine from Germany also tracked me down, same deal, but no money arrived. I lost their contact info due to a computer crash and don't know if they used them.
I,m Viki's friend Bill Link and Yes I have heard of tipping your boat to go under a bridge but it depends on the height of your mast as to how many feet you can save. Also, it would take a lot of weight to do the job, you would put your boom out with one or more persons on the boom.
Viki and I may be headed your way soon, it would be nice to meet you and help you out.
