This is my old SC35 at the indoor drystack in Portsmouth, right on the limit of the forklift I think!

Probably out in the Phucket marina in Thailand. Seen some 42 foot boats drystacked. They used some huge forklifts for them.
 
Hunton 43 RS on Triples at Saxon Wharf, It is the same boat that is at Trafalgar wharf , was at the top of the limit BUT made easier with the main weight at the stern .

When talking to Southampton Dry Stack they did not like handling the Axopar 37 and the boat was not very stern heavy and in fact only launched it with slings not on the actual forks.
I believe it is only Saxon Wharf and Trafalgar wharf that will lift boats of this size in the UK . Other MDL marinas do not like the Hunton 37 in Drystack,
 
My boat was only 7.5 meters but was very bow heavy and used to teeter on the edge of the forks. Everyone used to stop to watch it being launched
