Abstract (en)

A universal lift for boats (2) comprises: some saddles (3) for supporting the keel; two pontoons (4), provided with pneumatic chambers (5), sustaining the saddles (3), oriented transversely; valve means and pressurisation means, associated to the pneumatic chambers (5), to operate in mutual co-ordination and allow the pontoons (4) to sink into and emerge from the water. The saddles (3) are provided with a deep concave central part (6), open upwards, adapted indifferently to receive keels (7) of overlying powerboats or sailboats (2). The lifting device (1) comprises supports (8;12;30) which are movable relative to the saddle (3), opportunely arranged relative to the central part (6); and adjustment means (13,14,15;16,18;31) for adjusting the configuration of the movable supports (8;12;30), according to the actual geometric profile (9) of the keel of the boat (2) positioned over the saddles (3). <IMAGE>
