15.3 Trailer transportation and lifting
It is not recommended to use a trailer for a regular transportation of the boat. A suitable trailer with sufficient number of support guides to distribute the load evenly and reduce point loads can be used for storage of the boat.
Lifting
Safety risk.
Serious injury or death may occur if the boat falls when it is being lifted.
Never go under the boat when it is being lifted.
Risk of material damage.
Pressure from the lifting straps can cause damage to the side boarding gate.
Always keep the side boarding gate open when lifting the boat.
When lifting the boat, consider the following:
- Only use a professional crane operator for lifting the boat.
- Make sure that the crane and lifting implements have sufficient lifting capacity.
- Do not use chains for lifting. Only use straps.
- Make sure the straps go under the keel when lifting. Never lift the boat using the mooring points.
- Make sure the crane's lifting frame is at least 3,36 m (11’) wide.
