Merry Christmas everyone. I'm planning to haul out a 2007 Bavaria 37 and need some guidance on lift points for the travel lift. The page in the manual (11 of 51) is rather blurry and my marina has a constraint of placing the aftmost strap 10.5 feet from the stern. I know the strap should be between the keel and saildrive so I'm not convinced I'll have enough room with this 10.5' constraint. Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.

You're risking a slip and damage to the rudder + shaft, but probably not a drop when it slips. I would find a boatyard that can properly lift your boat. You can measure the distance from stern to saildrive inside the boat, but it's very likely more than your 3.2m limit.

If the image in the manual is to scale then it looks like I need to place the aftmost strap at least 12'7" from the stern well inside of my 10'5" constraint. I'm guessing that the risk of being on the right side of the saildrive but too close to it is potential damage to that hardware during the lift. Every photo I can find of a 37 being lifted there is still a foot or two between the strap and saildrive... I guess my question is how close to it can I place the strap without damaging it.
