Looks a little sketchy with the bow going ‘up’ in the air unless we can rig a different hoist attachment point further aft?

The hoist at most yacht clubs are certainly more than capable of lifting this thing but how do we manage the fore/aft conundrum and keep the rig and spreaders out of the crane arm ?
