Hello Andrew I put the jacks under the beams near the hulls four of them. I have heard of using large overinflated fenders to roll cats up to the hard. I would like to hear how it goes for you.

<p>I was going to wait till she was beached at the top of the tide on a falling tidal range so she would be there for 2 weeks. Settle the boat on 3 6m scaffold planks under the hulls where the beams join. Then jack it up from there. The sacrificial keel strip has been doing its job and needs some more wood/glass/antifoul so need to crawl under the keels to work. Will make sure she is well and truly jacked up/chocked and well supported before I go underneath.</p>

Hello Andrew<br />
I have jacked my tiki 30 off the blocks in the yard easily using reshore jacks. They are big screw jacks used in concrete form work construction. As long as the bottom is hard enough to bear the weight it could work. Have considered attempting this myself but in my experience trying to rig all-this up while floating around on the water is much more difficult than one might imagine. I did see an interesting photo posted on this forum showing a 21footer “cookie fat”kedged over onto…
Hello Andrew<br />
I have jacked my tiki 30 off the blocks in the yard easily using reshore jacks. They are big screw jacks used in concrete form work construction. As long as the bottom is hard enough to bear the weight it could work. Have considered attempting this myself but in my experience trying to rig all-this up while floating around on the water is much more difficult than one might imagine. I did see an interesting photo posted on this forum showing a 21footer “cookie fat”kedged over onto one hull from its mast head. Be safe and good luck.<br />
