Pictures of BunnyLand-Pirate Wench Swinger

This pirate boat was pretty difficult to do. I couldn't design a strong enough center swing that would hold up under the force of the swinging. I then saw the Belville set Pretty Playland. I used the swing portion of the set and then built the pirate boat around it. There is a hinged plank that raises and lowers for disembarking. The boat is held in place during embarking/disembarking with a sliding pin made out of a 1x12x1/3. The ride held up under constant 180° swings(I didn't want the full 360° as those make me ill in real life).
