Abstract: A watercraft lift system including one or more laterally-adjustable or rotating components and related methods are disclosed. The watercraft lift system can include a cradle assembly and optionally at least one side guide, which can (but need not) be connected to the cradle assembly. The cradle assembly can include first and second cradle rails. One or both of the first cradle rail and the at least one side guide can be movable between a wider watercraft-receiving position and a narrower watercraft-received position. In an example, movement of the first cradle rail and/or the at least one side guide from the watercraft-receiving position to the watercraft-received position occurs automatically upon entry of a watercraft into the confines of the watercraft lift system. The watercraft lift system can further comprise an actuator to cause lateral or rotational movement, for example, of the first cradle rail and/or the at least one side guide. In an example, the actuator can be operably connected to the first cradle rail and/or the at least one side guide via one or more cables or extension plate members.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transport and carrying device (2) for transporting and carrying a watercraft (4). In order to provide a device (2) for a watercraft (4), in particular for a motor-driven watercraft (4), which allows an easy and fast launch of the watercraft (4) even without a special launching device, it is proposed that the device (2) comprises:
two lateral floats (6) spaced at a predetermined distance from each other,
a connecting front element (8), which interconnects the two lateral floats (6) and keeps them at the predetermined distance from each other,
a surface-like support structure (10) attached laterally to the lateral floats (6) and preferably also at the front to the connecting element (8), wherein the support structure (10) has openings through which water can pass,
a receiving area (12) for the watercraft (4), between the lateral floats (6) and the connecting front element (8) and above the surface-like support structure (10), and
lifting elements (14), for attaching the transport and carrying device (2) to an external lifting device (22) and for lifting and lowering the transport and carrying device (2) by means of the lifting device (22).-

Abstract: A drive system for a ship, including at least two propulsion units, each propulsion unit having a propeller and a drive engine with an above-water transmission connected downstream for driving the propeller. Each drive engine can be connected to and disconnected from the associated above-water transmission with a clutch and between the above-water transmissions, a switchable drive train is provided by which in one switching state, the above-water transmissions can be coupled and driven jointly and in another switching state, they can be decoupled from each other.

Abstract: The buoy and rope launching device comprises a launch structure, a vessel, and a buoy. The launch structure is configured for use with the vessel. The launch structure is configured for use with a buoy. The buoy further comprises a pennant. The pennant is a rope that attaches the buoy to the pot. The launch structure jettisons the buoy and the pennant from the vessel. The use of the launch structure prevents the entanglement of a crewperson in the pennant as the buoy and pennant are jettisoned.

Abstract: A recovery apparatus and a recovery method is disclosed for recovering a watercraft, in particular for recovering a boat on board a mother ship. A frame actuator pulls a frame of the recovery apparatus relative to a carrying structure from a recovering position into a parked position. A chain drive moves a chain relative to the frame along a closed curve. The chain comprises at least one driver. A watercraft to be recovered is connected temporarily to the chain and is pulled out of the water by the movement of the frame relative to the carrying structure and by the movement of the chain having the drivers relative to the frame.
