In lifting the 15's for installing the CB and then dropping it on the trailer, we made a bridle that hooked to the chainplates, with a line running ft that hooked to one of the stern cleats. 400-some boats, no problems. Obviously check all the bolts first. ________________________________ From: casioqv@usermail.com <casioqv@usermail.com> Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2022 1:33 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: M_Boats: M15 hoist lifting bridle or sling Hi All, My yacht club doesn't have a boat ramp, but does have a hoist for lifting sailboats that I am interested in trying with my M15. The hoist is a single point (hook). Does anyone here have any experience or suggestions on what type of lifting bridle or sling I could use for an M15? Would it be okay to lift by the chainplates, or should I plan on straps that go under the hull? Sincerely, Tyler '81 M15 #157 Defiant
