Hi Ralph and all, Seems to me over the years, that I have seen far more posts from members that fell off their boats on the hard, then when sailing. Remember Carl Schaefer? He had a tarp thrown over his open companionway hatch, and was working on the cabin top, stepped onto the tarp and fell into the cockpit and stabbed himself on his A4 throttle and shifter. Thats the only one that comes to mind, but it seems to me that I have heard of others that have fallen off their boats while on the hard.
Don't know why, but it sure seems to me that working on your boat on the hard is more dangerous then when sailing it.
