Has someone overdone the 'metal gleam' treatment?

Yesterday I saw this monster being worked on in the hardstand area of the Queenscliff Harbour yard (in VIC).
To my inexperienced eye, it seemed bigger than the travel-lift could handle, not to mention negotiating the tight right angle turn from the harbour proper into the narrow Queenscliff channel (known as "the Cut").
I think there are a few Sea-Breezers who homeport either in the harbour or at the nearby QCYC. Can any of those folk shed any light on how transfers between water and yard are managed?
cheers,
