With the help of crew from Passion we lifted the engine into the boat today. It took longer than turning the hull but we had a very sociable day. I can add a few photos of progress over the last week but it has been mainly trimming and sanding and painting so no big impact photos.
While we worked on Passion X two of the crew did our duty roster at RANSA for the Winter Wednesday race and with the fourth place awarded for doing the duty we are now third overall in the series after six races.

The engine supported with chain blocks off the awning being lowered into the hull
We used a plank through the widow openings to support the engine inside the hull. We added a second plank through the next set of windows and a cross beam to get exactly over the engine bed.
The Yanmar YM30 AE-S on the engine bed. I need to lift it off the bed and trim off the aft end of the king plank which is just touching the sump.
