Good question, Sam.
A REALLY good yard would have a scale???? Maybe they could use the scale on
their Travelift??? I may have to ask my yard.
I use Pensacola Shipyard and I always thought they were first rate. No
discussion of weight distribution. Before haulout, they show me a picture of a
C&C 35 to ensure they know what the underbody looks like and where the keel and
prop shaft are. Just in case, I keep a picture of Touche' hauled out on my
cell phone so I can show them. I suggest all listers have a pic of your boat
hauled out to show to the yard.
Also, mark where the slings should go. I tie a piece of leech cord to the toe
rail where I want the slings. The commonly accepted symbol is a diamond just
below the toe rail. It can be painted or tape.
I'm always there when the yard blocks Touche'. I ask them to block it
slightly bow down so the cockpit drains.
I need to start bringing a one line diagram to locate the bulkheads. Now we
just whack the hull to find them.
Might have to work up a pre-haul out check list and a post-haul out check list.
Like inspecting all the thruhulls for blockage prior to splash. I had 2 of
them clogged after the last haul out. One was the engine cooling water. Still
don't know why.
