The lifting straps go always (I think it's the same for all DFs but certainly applies also to your DF920) just before and just aft of the main hull beam attachment points. "ExtraDry" has forwarded the following photo, showing his Dragonfly 800 mk2 at La Trinite sur Mer (France), which illustrates it well:

Quorning Boats delivers stainless steel cables for liftig the boat. They are to be attached at the "o" bolts at the beam fittings. This ist much more convenient and secure than lifting bands ("Hebebänder"). Refer to Chapter 3 of the manual. My DF920 is equipped with the o-Bolts ( Heißaugen ) but probably this is not so for all boats ( extra equipment). Look at the pictures.
