12.15 HAULAGE AND LAUNCH
CAUTION
The lifting method depends on the type of the lifting equipment, therefore
it cannot be suggested.
CAUTION
Before the haulage and launching operations, check that no foreign ma-
terials are on board, that all items are properly rigged and that nobody is
on board.
WARNING
Hauling and launching operations have to be carried out only by skilled
personnel and in qualied shipyards and under their direct responsibility.
RIVA declines all responsibility for damage to property and harm to per-
sons caused by the wrong performance of the hereunder listed operations.
• The lifting hoists must be in a good condition and particularly the lifting
straps should not be worn out, and should be covered with suitable pro-
tections to preserve the bulwarks gel-coat and the antifouling paint on
the hull bottom.
• The travel lift capacity must be greater than the yacht weight.
• If only one crane is available, use a “spacer” to give the lifting straps an
angle greater than hull width.
• Test the stability before lifting the yacht, its centre of gravity depends on
the load and its displacement.
CAUTION
Never place the lifting straps in the areas highlighted on the drawing.
