In preparation for haulout, we need to mark our boat to show where the lifting straps should be placed. Can anyone tell me what the proper location is for these markings?
In my opinion the front strap is the important one. The boat is bow heavy so place the strap so that it lines up, as much as possible, with the bulkhead. The rear one will find a place. Make sure that the crane operator emplolys a spreader frame. Squeezing the boat with slings makes the hull/deck joint leak.
