Securing of yachts on weather deck

The cradle must be put on a bolster and be secured by blocking with welded angle iron or chain lashing in all directions. The bolster must be secured to the weather deck by twist locks or be welded. If the lashing is applied in a loop as shown in Fig.9, half the number of lashings are needed.

Lashings "A" shall be applied to prevent the yacht from sliding backwards in the cradle.

Lashings "B" shall be applied as vertical as possible and lead to the cradle under the yacht.

Sufficient protection must be attached between the yacht and the lashing.

Lashings must be placed symmetrically starboard and port.

Web lashings with a minimum MSL of 2,5 MT should be used for securing of the yachts.
