Has someone overdone the 'metal gleam' treatment?

Yesterday I saw this monster being worked on in the hardstand area of the Queenscliff Harbour yard (in VIC).

To my inexperienced eye, it seemed bigger than the travel-lift could handle, not to mention negotiating the tight right angle turn from the harbour proper into the narrow Queenscliff channel (known as "the Cut").

I think there are a few Sea-Breezers who homeport either in the harbour or at the nearby QCYC. Can any of those folk shed any light on how transfers between water and yard are managed?

cheers,

From memory the yard has a 150 t travelift.

And that boat has been in the yard ~2 years...... Go figure.
