Busy June for ShipShape. We launched a number of boats including this Sea Ray 480 (pictured here) and a Neptunus 62 Express Hardtop.
The Neptunus was
an interesting launch because we moved the hard-top by crane once we had
the boat in the water. Having an 80 Ton Travel Lift really makes a
difference in moving these big vessels.

Today we made history! Pictu

here is the 74' Neptunus we launched last week with our 80 Ton Travel
Lift. Turns out, this was the largest and heaviest boat launched by any
Travel Lift in Lake Ontario.
True, there were times when it was a bit of a nail biter... but it was
really cool. And I took lots of great pics during the launch - you can
check them out on our ShipShape Ltd. On-Line Photo Album.

Here I am with the owners of KareBear
when we launched their vessel after repairing the propeller. The prop
had been really badly damaged and we were able to get the boat repairs
done quickly so we could get them right back in the water.
I took a series of photos which show step-by-step how we fixed the prop. Check out the sequence on our ShipShape Ltd. On-Line Photo Album. In fact, I've got a lot of great photos from the yard - on that site.
It's still really
busy here in St. Catharines. Starting to see the light at the end of
the tunnel - just in time for haul-out no doubt :) .... Jonny
We just launched a Lagoon 380 Catamaran from our yard. The owners reported a very peaceful crossing from the yard once we got them launched.
We've loaded up some more photos on our Picasa Web Album ... be sure to check them out.
This great weather has been keeping us hopping!
