When craning, take care that the slings are correctly positioned and are not fouling the
propeller, the saildrive or a fragile sensor.
Lifting frames should be wide enough, or fitted with spreaders to avoid exerting excessive
lateral pressure on the rubbing band.
Avoid letting slings foul the lifelines. During transport or lift out, the keel should be in proper
contact with its support, and should be taking most of the boat's weight.
Cradle pads must be positioned against structural elements and exert only the pressure
necessary for the boat's good balance.
Whenever the boat is out of the water, use the opportunity to inspect the propeller, rudder,
skin fittings and sensors.
WARNING !
The lifting point is situated close to the sail-drive
