17. HOISTING, TRANSPORT, STORAGE ASHORE
(Plans on pages N°122 to N°123)
During haulout, ensure that the slings are correctly positioned and they are not bearing on the propellers, or
any delicate parts, such as transducers, etc.
The slings must be positioned in line with the mast bulkhead and the coachroof bulkhead, as indicated by
grey triangles above the antifouling.
Under no circumstances must the slings put any weight on the guardwires.
When placing the boat ashore, the hull must rest uniformly on the points marked by the grey triangles above
the antifouling.
Travel hoists must be sufficiently wide or be equipped with spreader bars so as not to apply too much
transverse force at the gunwales.
The pads of a cradle or props must be positioned level with structural elements, and only exert the pressure
necessary to provide the correct balance to the boat. Their curve must perfectly fit that of the hull in a way
that each should apply pressure over an area no smaller than 400 mm wide by 200 mm long (100 mm either
side of the structural area).
Take advantage of the boat being out of the water to inspect the propellers, anodes, rudders, through hull
skin fittings and transducers.
DANGER
Never use the electric winches for hoisting a person up the rig: a breakdown in the system could lead
to irreparable damage.
