Default Launching off a trailer with an overhead winch

Hi,

The club where I can keep the boat on a trailer does not have a ramp.
The boat ramp does not have a place I can keep the boat & trailer.
Getting it in and out of my yard is tough.

I really would like to keep the boat at the club and lauch it with the
2 ton winch. Do you know how / if this can be done?

Thanks,

Mike Cohen


A 2 ton lift would be a bit on the light side for a Catalina
22. Not much safety margin. And you'd be much better off
setting up lifting rings on the boat itself than to put
slings under it. With slings, you need a big spreader fram
to hold the upper ends of the slings in place.

One good thing about using a hoist is that you don't get
your trailer all rusty.
