Launching the boat
When launching, or handling the boat, for example for transport or winter
storage, the lifting eyes and the lifting straps are guaranteed to hold, ONLY when
provided from Quorning Boats and used under the following conditions:
2 x SHORTER LIFTINGSTRAPS AFT, AND 2 x LONGER LIFTINGSTRAPS FORWARD
1) Lifting eyes and straps/slings are designed for single crane hook system use
only – not for individually use or use elsewhere. Therefore, all four straps
to one crane hook = single point lifting.
2) Lifting straps/slings must not be used elsewhere or for other purposes.
3) Make sure that NO PERSONS are neither on nor under the boat when
craning. If work must be done under the hull, make sure that your extra
hull safety support can take the full load of the boat, if the crane or lifting
straps should fail. If you are not sure about this, ask professionals.
4) The lifting straps are designed for the boat only – NO crew aboard, and the
bilges in all 3 hulls MUST be empty. If the total weight exceeds 8,000
kg/17,500 pounds, these straps and the 4-hoisting lifting eye system on the
boat should not be used.
5) No one is allowed on and under the boat while craning.
6) Before craning the boat out of the water, make sure to take up and secure
the centerboard up haul line and take up the rudder, so the boat can be set
down on the cradle or truck.
7) When craning with the lifting straps, the boat MUST always be in a folded
position. The mast can also stay up – no difference in the balance. The
boat can also be lifted when folded out, but this requires the aft lifting
straps to be (extended) longer.
8) IMPORTANT – bef
ore launching the boat (also on a new boat), check that
log/speed and depth sounder transducers are fitted correctly in place to
avoid flooding the center hull. Quorning Boats and/or dealers cannot be
held responsible for this. This must always be double checked before
launching.
