What this video covers

The crew of the ocean-racing yacht NV prepares for a haul-out in Borneo using a 150-ton travel lift.7:32 The vessel’s deep 14-foot draft and a permanent cockpit roof structure create significant clearance risks during the lift.7:32 Timo expresses concern that the travel lift’s standard strap positions will cause the rear straps to strike the cockpit roof and boom, potentially damaging the structure or preventing the boat from clearing the concrete ramp.0:20 To mitigate the risk of the bulb keel striking the ground as the tide drops, the crew uses a dinghy to maneuver the boat into the lift bay, compensating for a faulty reverse gear.1:26 Because the straps must be positioned precisely to avoid the roof, the crew coordinates with lift operators to adjust the strap placement forward of the crossbeam.9:16 Divers enter the water to manually guide the straps around the deep hull.8:26 The boat is successfully lifted without structural contact.16:36
