Lifting the boat from the trailer

I adapted a methodology for lifting the boat off the trailer that I have used for other boats. It involves a cross-beam with a jack at each end. In the past I have dropped the nose of the trailer, positioned a cradle under the stern of a boat, and then used the beam to lift the front. For Helene I bought two more jacks and had beams at both ends. All very controlled and safe. {See this topic or the Videos page to see a video of the process}
