What this video covers
The Yachtrigger adjustable three-point lifting harness is a Dyneema dinghy lift system rated for tenders up to 15–16 feet.Watch Each leg adjusts from 2.5 to 7 feet, letting the user shift the pick point fore or aft to compensate for a heavy outboard or an uneven load.0:42 The harness can also be configured as a four-point system.0:04 Adjustment is manual: pull one leg, pull the other to match, then cinch tight — no tools required.0:37 Because the webbing is Dyneema rather than stainless cable, it will not corrode, and it will not scratch the gel coat on the tender or the mothership.1:22 Stainless lifting cables, by contrast, can fail without warning from crevice corrosion and abrade gel coat in the process.1:29 After setting the balance, excess tail can be coiled and left adjustable for future load changes, or cut short and finished with a stopper knot or stitching for a permanent, cleaner installation.2:02
