9.20.1.Hoist:
Many marinas and servicing companies hoist the boats using a crane and hoisting gear or a travel lift. Ensure that the
slings are placed according to the boats structure and the weight balance of the boat. The boat should hang level keel
inthecrane,atthesametrimasitwouldoatinthewater.Shouldyoubeusingthesamecranewithslingsregularly,
then it is advised that you mark the sling positions on the craft at the deck edge.
The following drawings show the positions of the slings and also the parts of the hull where the boat shall be sup-
portet when being slipped or stored.
Be aware, that these dimensions may shift if the weight and its distribution is altered. The marks for the sling posi-
tionsmustbechangedaccordingly.BAVARIAYACHTSdoesnotassumeanyresponsibilityforthehoistingorslipping
process - weigth distributions must be checked and slings positioned accordingly.
Caution -be aware of the following:
» Thecenterofgravitypositions(CG)doonlycorrespondtothelightdisplacementloading,
for the ship without the optional equipment, stores, payload, tankage etc.
» Anyshiftordifferenceoftheloadsuchasuidsintanks,peopleonboardetc.willresultin
a shift of the center of gravity.
» The breadth of the sling supports must be bigger than the largest width of the boat.
» The slings must be of a minimum length of 12m.
