If you’re like me, before you had time to seriously consider a Marblehead you will have already heard several hilarious stories about trying to recover a swing rig Marblehead by lifting by the mast (as you would an IOM) and the rig coming off in the rescuer’s hands!!

Well, fear not – consider a “lifter” !! Take a peep at the video to see how easy it makes things. If you have wobbly knees, or cannot bend much, this is such a simple way to go. It might become your preferred way of recovering and launching any radio yacht.

I’ll do a separate post in the ‘Launching and Recovery’ section of the website, to show you how to make a lifter for £12-£15 ….. from Amazon!!
