What parts of a sailboat can you work on in the house?

Lleh asked:


I know this sonds crazy but I need if for a scene in a play. The people are restoring an old sailing yacht outside and a storm comes up. Nobody wants to quit working so they grab things and bring them into the banquet room of the mansion. The effect should be shocking as in Oh my god you can’t bring THAT into the dining room. A whole mast would probably be to big but other than that, anything that can be worked on separate from the boat would be good. Maybe part of the engine. Maybe something that needs to be sanded or painted. Suggestions?
Gad. Where’s Nyctugcapt or Scienceteacher when I need them?

How do you put a big sailboat in and out of the water. Like maybe a sixty foot yacht. I saw some?

Lleh asked:


crane-like things at the yacht club but they didn’t look big enough to hoist a big boat. Any body know of a site where I can see pics of a big boat being hoisted or transported?
The crane-like things were just a post bolted into concrete with single arm extending from the top of the post with a cable and hook suspended from the arm, not at all like the machine Robert R so eloquently describes.
