having been lifted this boat will now be cleaned and possibly have its hull descaled and resealed before being lifted back into the water.

An essential but highly delicate process that has to be done every five years or so. it has been known for water in the bilges of some of the larger canal barges to shift during the lifting process and cause the boat to tip and on one famous occasion actually come loose from the various chains and ropes and crash to the grownd. the boat in question was totally smashed to pieces.
