13.1 YACHT LIFTING AND LAUNCHING
The marine hoist (travel lift) capacity must be greater than the yacht’s
weight. Lifting equipment must be in good condition; more specifically,
the lifting straps must not be worn out, and should be covered with
preserving material that will protect the yacht’s hull gel-coat and
antifouling paint when the yacht is lifted.
Because a great difference may exist between different load conditions
(e.g., yacht empty and yacht fully-loaded) the lifting straps must be
arranged at the time of lifting according to the yacht’s load conditions.
The arrangement of the lifting straps must be carefully evaluated each
time, in order to prevent any damage to the yacht. Entrust this
determination to qualified, experienced professional personnel.
S
CAUTION
Do not put the lifting straps in the areas shaded on the drawing.

NOTICES

NOTICES
Prior to lifting and launching, check that there are no unnecessary
materials and equipment aboard the yacht. Make sure that all gear,
furniture, and loose items are properly stowed and secure. No person
should be aboard the yacht when it is lifted or launched.
