Bottom blacking commencing

The team at 4Marine pulled Hallmark out of the river yesterday and she is now sitting on dry land.
Here are the two things that get a 15 ton and 50 foot long narrow boat out of the river and on the slipway.
First is a diesel powered machine that pulls the boat which has been floated on to a couple of four wheeled trolleys..

A tractor then is coupled up and continues the pull the heavy boat further up the slop.
A rather special tractor here.
A David Brown vintage machine!

Hallmark is now sitting up on her blocks and the washing and scraping are over.
The bottom blacking should commence next week!
