So na!

Anyway, all this heavy-hauly talk is irrelevent because the text doesn't say how the yacht is to be removed from the wet stuff. It justs say that the boat must be taken out of the water to be repaired, whether it be on a slip, in a dry dock or lifted out by a crane.

: Richard, in the at sea glossary http://www.chron.com/content/interactive/voyager/sail/glossa... you find dry dock where the definition starts with " a dock where a boat can be worked on out of the water. ..."

: I think it unlikely that a yacht would go into a very expensive dry dock, yachts are generally hauled or craned out of the water

"(in a) dry" (place or 'on dry land')
cale sèche is dry dock
'à sec' just means to get the boat dry again, on land or any other place, but not necessarily in a slip or dock

which requires cradling
Taking the boat out of water presumably requires cradling it, unless the operation can be performed quickly while it is slung from a crane, and inversely, cradling requires removing the boat from the water.

Since 1998 I've been living and working in sailing related fields. 99% of my full-time client base is yachting related and I'm writing this from my office in La Trinité sur Mer, not even 100 m from the place where cruising and racing yachts are "mis à terre" regularly, and just opposite the Multipôle where multi-lingual teams have just put their machines back into the water in preparation for a big transat coming up.

I agree that « haul » implies a horizontal movement. I also agree that in nautical terms too, “haul” has this sense. Similarly, the term “lift” would automatically suggest a vertical movement, but is also often used to describe the technique adopted on mechanically operated slipways where they are often towed out.
When a boat goes into her winter lay-up, original language texts also describe this as a boat’s “winter haul out” (cf. http://www.riverkeeper.org/campaign.php/pollution/we_are_doi...
What can I say to convince you that this is also THE generic term whether a boat is physically hauled or towed out, lifted by crane, lifted on or from a slipway or whatever and that it corresponds to the French generic “mettre à terre” all the more so when the method is not specified.
Examples in original English (GB & US) :
http://www.cowes.co.uk/cb/zone?p=story2;story_id=256;cp=
Ellen MacArthur's trimaran B&Q was lifted out of the water on Friday (13 May) and into the shed at Medina Yard in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. The haul out is to allow the shore team to undertake the repair work to the central bow which was damaged when the B&Q was struck by a Nelson launch in East Cowes Marina.

Madtrad and I seem to disagree about the nitty gritty. As he says, the heavy-hauly stuff is probably irrelevant. The point you need to get across is that the boat is being removed from the water onto dry land.

Graham macLachlan
: only in the context of a slipway, in your sense "haul" means "pull" whereas cranes "lift", at low tide boats are "dried out" and ships are "put" in dry dock, boats are also "put on the hard".// hauled out into a dry dock?

Wrong I'm afraid. "Haul" usuually means - as it can in the sense of a slipway still mean "pull" - but "haul out" specifically applies for taking a boat out of the water, whatever the method, hauling, lifting, craning...
