Lifting points - Zodiac Open 5.5

Hello all,

Does anyone here have a Zodiac Open 5.5 that they have fitted lifting points to so that it can be lifted using a standard 3 or 4 point harness? If so, I'd be very grateful for any information about where the lifting points can be located.

It looks to me as if this RIB is built with a hull and separately glued on deck liner. It isn't therefore obvious to me where the lifting points could be located because it isn't easy to access the hull from above. Presumably the hull to deck joint isn't strong enough to fit lifting points in the deck liner?

Any advice / experience would be very gratefully received.

Thanks,
Tom
