Permanent lifting rig

areas
This rig consists of four
7x19 3/16”Dia SS double eyed wire
strops, each threaded, on a
sleeve, through one eye and bolted
through the cabin locker
walls, at deck level, by 3/8” SS bolts.
(see enlargements) The sleeves allow the strops to swing freely
to be raised for lifting and
to lie fore and aft along the cabin sole
when not in use.

For lifting, the forward
and after pairs are pulled up and joined together with a shackle
and the two shackled again by
a larger shackle which is connected to the crane hook.
Bolt positioning is critical. As shown, the boat lifts level with the mast
in and the
motor on the transom and, with
the mast out, with the motor forward, in the cabin.
