Default Transfering a sailboat from trailer to stands

Why? All you need is a couple of inches. We didn't have any problems.

Any way you do it, there will be clearance problems removing
the trailer.

Make the stands the same height as the trailer so they barely fit under
the boat. Remove most of the air from the trailer tires, then drive away.
When you want to reverse the process, put the trailer back under the
stands, then fill the tires until you start to relieve the pressure on
the stands. Obviously, you want to be careful to get everything right
before you try it.

I would like to transfer a Pearson26 (draws 5400 lbs) from a trailer to
jack stands. I'm only getting temporary use of the trailer, so I will
have to get it on jack stands. Has anyone or anyone you know performed
this seemingly superhuman feat without the use of a helicopter or
crane?
Thanks.
