Loading our DL650 onto the sailboat of flaky captain Steve Robbins of the S/V Shenanigans was intense and nerve-racking. First we basically dumped it into a lancha (down 3-4 feet from the dock), then went out and loaded it onto the sailboat, using the halyard rigging. It went fairly well, probably because we had a good amount of manpower. Still, we were all busy- Tamara manned the line and took pictures- hence the weird angle on the photos below.

 Raising the bike. It would eventually need to go over the chrome post, near the engine.
