Cruiser 46 Dimensions for transport by ship
« on: July 21 2021, 07:21 »
Hello all,
We take our cruiser 46 style from the Med to the Baltic’s by Vessel transport (ship to ship) with Senvenstar.
They want to know things that I don’t know like :”Longitudinal position of Centre Of Gravity: in m/ft” and other dimensions.
I would be very happy if you could provide any information about the following :

- Is the keel capable of supporting the yacht’s weight?: Y/N
- Longitudinal position of Centre Of Gravity: m/ft
- M.Y/S.Y Max. Protrusion (below keel) of propeller, rudder or stabilizer: Y/N
- S.Y. Height of keel: m/ft
- Aft lifting sling position measured from transom: m/ft
- Fwd lifting sling position measured from transom:  m/ft
- Mast position measured from transom:  m/ft
- Total height of mizzen mast:  m/ft
- Start of the keel (if no keel, start of propeller shafts): m/ft
- Length of keel:  m/ft
- Slope keel: Y/N  cm/inch
- Centre to centre propeller:  m/ft
- Height of chine above underside keel:  m/ft
 
Thanks for any input

Is the keel capable of supporting the yacht’s weight?: Yes, on pretty much every production boat ever.

The prop and rudder do not protrude below the keel, as you should know yourself.

The rest you'll have to measure, none of these are items listed on any datasheet. Others don't apply to your boat (no mizzen mast and only one prop).

Centre of gravity and such you really won't be able to figure out.

This whole form seems mostly an insurance blame assigning exercise so if they do drop the boat or it's damaged in transit, they can claim they weren't supplied with this data and it was all your fault instead of their lifting crew, which should know how to lift a yacht anyways - most(!) boatyards do.
