Boat and yacht lashing refers to specialized securing, chocking and protection systems applied during transport to prevent hull damage, system failures and cosmetic marks. Every vessel type—sailing yacht, motor yacht, RIB, wooden boat—requires a bespoke lashing and support solution based on hull geometry and transport mode. Kuzey Marine Survey provides tailored engineering plans and on-site supervision for safe vessel movement.

• Assessment: Identify hull form, center of gravity, appendages (propeller, shaft, rudder), outboard motors, and structural weak points. Consider transport route and environmental loads.

• Support Systems: Use custom cradles, keel blocks, sacrificial pads, and full-length timber bearers with anti-slip layers to distribute loads evenly. For road moves, design trailer support adapted to hull lines.

• Securing Techniques: Employ soft webbing slings, padded chafe plates, steel straps and controlled turnbuckles to secure without local point loads. Mast removal and rigging protection for sailing yachts are performed as needed.

• Protection & Isolation: Fit waterproof covers, vibration dampers and chassis braces. Immobilize engines, steering gear and moving parts to prevent in-transit movement.

• Verification & Reporting: Final checks, load trials and photographic documentation produce a complete “Boat & Yacht Lashing Survey Report” with support drawings and equipment IDs.

Correct lashing prevents hull deformations, shaft/prop damage, electrical faults and cosmetic losses. Our certified reports support insurance claims and provide owners with confidence that their asset arrives in original condition.
