Default Transfering a sailboat from trailer to stands

It's a small boat, they should be able to crank the stands
up enough to move 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.
