Whitbread 60 Blueprint is out of the water

Blueprint was lifted out of the water on Thursday, ready to start the shoreside element of her winter refit.  We will be uploading time lapse movies keeping you up to date with the refit over the next few weeks.  Check out the first footage of the Whitbread's rig and then the hull being lifted, before all the rods are stripped off the rig for storage.  You can also see the boat team getting very wet and as it rained nearly continually through Thursday and Friday when this was shot!
