© Magnus Smith A 'soft sling' for hoisting sailors into boats (more comfortable and more supportive than smaller slings, but a faff to get it under your body whilst already sitting in the wheelchair)
© Magnus Smith Hoist process step 6 - the hoist is detached, and the sling (black fabric on right of photo) can be left under the sailor

© Magnus Smith Hoist process step 5 - just before touchdown, hold any cushions in place, as supporting a person well makes a massive difference to their ability to enjoy the sail (cushions can be wedge-shaped or very flat)
© Magnus Smith Hoist process step 3 - the wheelchair can be backed away, and the hoist rotates to move the sailor over the boat moored alongside
© Magnus Smith Hoist process step 2 - check the sailor is ready before pumping on the handle to raise them up (the sling will gradually tighten around them and could be painful if not in the right place)
