I saw them flying around Bert Jabins with those big Taylors, with around a 30 footer - there was carpeting on the forks, but I was wondering - .
Because of the rocker in the hull, it is kind of point loading on the corners of the inside of the forks(Picking up, back to front). I thought it seemed a little brutal to the fiberglass skin. If they have some kind or air cushion it seem like it would work out well.

Folks, A Marina has offered to try and use their boat fork lift (80,000 lb) to lift Deja Vu’ off the custom trailer we have - splash her for whatever period of time we sail and then lift and put back on the trailer. So it’s a “dry sailing” option if this could work? The Marina operator reports they can lift up to 25,000 lb boats with this system. The fork lift would have unobstructed access to the transom of Deja Vu and with the engine and fuel tank behind the keel I was wondering if the weight/balance etc this idea would work or not? Any thoughts or experience from other people who have tried this or had experience with other boats? Appreciate your thoughts Stephen Thorne C&C 34+ Deja Vu’ 770.722.2848
