Short description

Six adjustable tripod stands form a cradle for hauling the sailing boat. Joints have been tack-welded (proof-of-concept) and require proper welding by an experienced welder. Estimated urgent work: 3–4 hours to finish the critical joints. Optional additional work: another ~3–4 hours of lighter welding and adjustments.

Note: the original detailed task list markdown could not be fetched automatically; this page was assembled from the available photos index and project notes. See photos below for joint detail and padding/fixtures.
