Default Is There A Special Way to Lift a CAT?

I read one time about someone having their CATamaran damaged when having it lifted out of the water.
You know the straps they put on the front and back area when they are lifting a boat , when you dont use the trailer.
Is this a risky thing?I dont want my 100k baby damaged.

easiest way is to install lifting eyes on the transom and on the nose like the race boats have . transom is very solid so bolt threw some lifting eyes and its save , the one on the front deck have studs underneed that attach to a bulkhead so you dont pull the deck of .

I have a pair flush mount pull up for sale as my builder allready had them put in when I bought mine

Ocean express still in business? Get hold of them and they will point out where the lift points are. They pick up boats weighing way more than twice yours with those straps. Never heard of a boat being damaged by them. I would bet on them over eyes attached to the bow and transom.
