Bob, did you see my email about the mast specifications?

We lift them using the chainplates without worry. We do use woven roving in that area; the stainless washers are more than strong enough. Also, you can lift the M_15 using the Stainless Stern Cleats as well. We've made several lifting harnesses for customers that launch using a Yacht Club crane. Those chainplates are thru bolted using large stainless washers. Same for the cleats. Bob

Older owners frequently talk about lifting by the chainplates but I agree with the comment after not using the chain plates for lifting M 15s that way unless they are older models. On several older M 15's that I've checked, the chain plates were backed with either a solid aluminam rod or a hollow pipe. I've looked at ones made it 2006 and 2008 and noticed that the chain plates are backed only a small washer. In fact on one boat, the plastic cleats on the stern were backed by a larger washer.
If you have a newer boat use lifting slings. I use a vehicle towing strap around the bow and a large dock line around the stern.

The aft holes are for a lifting sling and for a preventer vang. This advice is only for the boats I built, which have a backup under the chainplates.

OK, I have enjoyed this discussion regarding the mast rake. I have looked
at the photo site, and some of the boats have the shrouds connected to the forward hole on the deck plate, and some have the shrouds connected to the aft hole. So, which is it???
