Keel lifting frame, Thomson 980 racing yacht
A Thomson 980 racing yacht drew too much water to be lifted onto a hard stand. The frame raises her keel by up to 1.5 metres so she can be.
The keel lifting frame was designed and built for a Thomson 980 to solve the problem of the boat's draft when putting her on a hard stand. The keel can be lifted up to 1.5 metres, making it easier for the boat lift operator to take her out of the water.
