O que este vídeo aborda
A solo sailor navigates a 5,500-pound yacht into Boston Harbor, arriving at Admiral’s Hill Marina to prepare for a crane lift.▶ 3:59 To avoid removing the mast, the sailor executes a single-point lift using a crawler crane, positioning the boat’s center of gravity forward by loading the forepeak and using a complex arrangement of stabilizing lines attached to the backstays and hull.▶ 11:09 The crane hook is held clear of the mast by tensioning lines from the port quarter and sides, allowing the vessel to tilt nose-down and starboard-down during the hoist.▶ 14:37 Once ashore, the boat is secured on pallets and fenders, with halyards tensioned to the ground to prevent oscillation in high winds.▶ 18:17 The vessel remains on the hard with the mast stepped while awaiting further maintenance.▶ 18:31 The procedure demonstrates that careful weight distribution and strategic rigging of stabilizing lines can enable a mast-up lift for lightweight, slab-sided yachts in constrained urban environments.
