Marine lifting apparatus

A catamaran vessel lifting apparatus comprising:

• a) first and second vessels;
• b) a first frame that spans between the vessels;
• c) a second frame that spans between the vessels;
• d) the frames being spaced apart and being connected to the vessels in a configuration that spaces the vessels apart;
• e) the first frame connecting to the first vessel with an universal joint and to the second vessel with a hinged connection;
• f) the second frame connecting to the second vessel with an universal joint, and to the first vessel with a hinged connection;
• g) each frame extending upwardly in an inverted u-shape, providing a space under the frame and in between the vessels, enabling a marine vessel to position in between the vessels and under the frames;
• and
• h) winches and winch lines rigged to one or more of said vessels that enable positioning the vessels.
