Classic example of thinking outside the box - not in any RYA handbook I've ever seen - brilliant

I wasn't allowed to open up a rib to get a frame under a bridge in st andrews harbour - my idea was as you accelerate the back of rib kicks in and lower back... we ended flooding hull then pushing a frame of top with a heavy weight ie me hanging at the back !
The things you do not to pay harbour fees!

rule number 2 of engineering - if you hit hard enough or drive fast enough anything will go through a gap!

Couple of our older club members sailed a yacht under a road bridge (victoria bridge stockton)pre tees barrage days ) that was undergoing painting many years ago early one sunday morning , using what they called the (Careening ) method , as scaffolding suspended beneath the bridge was reducing the mast clearance,,
Going by the amount of ladders ,wood scaffold planks ,hardhats , paintcans,rags that came floating down stream a few hours later we all had an inkling that it hadent gone as planned.
bet the painters had a shock monday morning
