New Travel Hoist at Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club
The first yacht to be lifted was the Warwick 64 Moonblue 2 in preparation for the San Fernando Race. The new travel hoist is remote controlled making life significantly easier for our Lifting Operations Supervisor, Yam Yu Kwan; hence the bright smile in the photos!
The new hoist is capable of lifting yachts and power boats of up to 50,000kg, a maximum beam of just under 6m and the travel hoist has an inside clear height of 8.5m. The final height was selected so that we would have the ability to lift the one design Volvo Round the World Race yachts.
Designed with low maintenance and long life in mind, through an abundant use of stainless steel and marine grade galvanising, combined with low maintenance polymers, the Wise hoist will be a feature at the Yacht Club for many years to come.
