8.21.1. 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.
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.
Checkfortheruddersandthekeel,aswellasthepropellershaft.
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.
» Do not step under lifted load!
» The breadth of the sling supports must be bigger than the largest width of the boat
» Weigth distributions must be checked and slings positioned accordingly.
8.21.2. Slip
If the yacht is slipped conventionally it may sit on its keel. The yacht is instable in this position and must be securely
fastenednottofallonitssideorforward.Bestwouldbetohaveacustommadeandttingcradle,thatisdesigned
to take the loads at the designated places.
Forlongerstorageperiodsitisadvisestoutiliseadedicatedcradle/trailerfortransportorstorage.Callyourservice
partner,hewillbehappytotakecare.
Caution:
» During the slipping process it is forbidden to stay on board

8.21.3. Storage.
Thecraftshouldbestoredonadesignatedandtailoredstoragesystemorcradle.Athree-pointstorageisokforshort
periods.Handlethehullshellwithcare.Supportsshouldbespreadingtheloadoverabiggersurface.Thesupports
shouldbeasbigaspossibleandthepaddingnotbetoosoft.Allsupportsshouldapproximatelytakeevenloads.
Regardingothermeasuresduringlongerstorage,especiallyduringcoldtimes,youshouldconsiderreadingthepara-
graph about winter storage.
Checkthattheruddersandpropellerisfree,andthathullttingsarenotdamagedorloadedwhileslippingorstoring
the boat. The best places to suport a hull are at bulkhead stations.
