I Have just purchased a Beneteau 373 and would like to know if it is safe to haul it out on a marine railway where the full weight of the boat is on the keel.
Haul-out on marine railway
- Thread starter Michael M
- Start date
why not ask the rail way that is doing the job and see if they have done it before ...i would think that it should be blocked up some kind of way in at least 6 points or at least 4 points
we use a travel life down here most of the time for deep keel boats

Whichever one you'll find in British Columbia. Especially if it "shines your ever lovin light on me."
Michael,
Hope this helps.
From the 373 manual,
HAULING Your Beneteau should be hauled for inspection and maintenance at least once a year; the frequency of haul-outs may vary due to your local conditions and marine growth. A good boatyard is seasoned in hauling and maneuvering boats on land, you may verify this by checking to see that the weight of the hull is resting firmly on the bottom of the keel and that even contact exists along the bottom of keel. Jack stands, or cradle uprights, are meant to balance the boat and not to support its weight.
