Matt. Be careful of the wheelhouse / windscreen moulding and the pulpit / handrails. Depending on the sling length, they could be compressed inwards by the lifting forces. I'm sure your guys know what they're doing, but if it were me - I'd be wary, especially of these areas. Best Regards Simon.

Matthew. Where is she being lifted? Usually the yard would sort this out, but I think all yards use spreaders when lifting, all the yards I work with do. Without you could damage rails and windscreens etc. Simon.

Hi Simon I belong to a boat club and we do our own liftout over a weekend. We dont have use spreaders as it would slow down the lifting too much. The operation is run very profesionaly by some of our knowlegable members and there are much larger boats than mine lifted. But I just wanted to try and find out if there was a specific reason that spreaders should be used for a 277. Matt

I have recently acquired a Hardy Seawing 277. I am planning to have the boat lifted out this autumn. Does anyone know whether "speaders" would be advisable for a Seawings 277.
