IMPORTANT – If lifting straps are somehow damaged, they must NOT be

used. Lifting straps must not be used after 10 years from purchase – use

otherwise is at your own risk.

CRAINING:

When using travel lift, be VERY CAREFULL not to get the bolt under the sail drive

and propeller – this is right under and back of the aft/rear wings/beams.

Only use travel lift belt around the center hull only – NEVER around the wings or

the floats.
