Doing the first haul-out on our 379 on Friday and would like to know the manufacturer specified lift points. Are these physically marked anywhere on the boat? Any recommendations on how to ensure things go smoothly? Thanks.

My one year old 50DS has decals to indicate lifting points, unfortunately not all were fixed in the correct spot, so before lift out the boat yard sent a diver down to ensure the saildrive was clear of the lifting slings. The manual also has a diagram of lifting points. rgrds ab

There are small red decals with arrows on each side. The stern location is critical as you will damage your sail drive if they lift too far forward. I have them lift at the stern berth port lights which I think is safer as its well behind the prop.

So in the middle of the stern port lights in the rear... How about up front? Need to watch out for the transducer I suspect?

Hi Nick,
As you know they did mine at the same location 2 weeks ago, they lifted the aft carefully in order to avoid damaging the rudder (rudders in your case) or the sail drive and in fact it is pretty easy to position the ropes in between these 2. On the bow, it is a different story, because the transducer does not stick much out of the hull they have no idea if the ropes are right below it or not. I recommend taking it out. I asked them prior to lifting the boat, they replied it was not necessary to do so which I did not do this time, but as a result it did break a dent on the spinning wheel which now delivers a boat speed below the SOG of about 20%. If anyone has experienced replacing the spinning wheel of the transducer, I'll take it.

Thanks for the reply, and sorry to hear that your recommendation to remove the transducer was a result of damage to your own. We've been hesitant to remove the transducer ourselves, since when we did it last with the dealer it resulted in a geyser which was difficult (and scary) to plug. However, I guess what better place to try it again than in the safety of a marina haul-out slip.

Hello,
The transducer wheel is very simple to remove; simply get a small pair of pliers and grab the axle of the wheel. It will come out easily. I do this operation every year when I clean the wheel and the transducer before applying a couple of coats of special anti-fouling.
I always remove the transducer before the boat is taken out of the water to avoid any damage to it...
Cheers, Allegria

Thanks for reminding me to order some small 'Lift' signs. My decals are coming off. Sign-o-matic in the UK can make small hard plastic signs which I'm going to screw on to the toe rail. Ian

Please see jeanneau.proboards.com/thread/3740/379-lift-outIf your 379 is the lift keel version, you can show the photo in above post to your lift operator. The factory aft lift point (l/k version) is at the (fwd) gate stanchion. The forward lift point not so critical, provided you withdraw the transducer wheel of course!

If it hasn't been mentioned already (sorry if it has!) goes without saying no responsibility accepted if anything goes wrong as a result of using!!

Thanks all for the advice... Successful first haul-out on Friday, which included saildrive oil and zinc changes... I marked the lift points on the rail per the manual spec (also shown in jcnyb's photo). The lift operator used the forward mark, but was not comfortable lifting by the aft mark due to it being between the saildrive and keel. I had him place it over the aft cabin window as recommended above, which worked well. The forward strap ended up being directly over the transducer, which I had replaced with the plug prior, so I'm thankful for heeding jlasail's advice.

How dirty was the hull and propeller?

I have just had the first lift out of my 379 and the forward sling was on the decal mark but when the aft sling was on the aft decal the weights on the slings were not at all even and the lift operator was very unhappy to proceed and put her back and moved the rear sling to 600mm aft of the rear decal to achieve even distribution of weight between the two. I have the two cabin version and there is a lot of gear in the equipment locker. Two sails, a spare anchor and 30m of spare 8mm chain plus all the usual paraphernalia. I assume this is the reason for the change in balance.
