Thanks, Larry, I had seen that post also, but my boat is the more recent version with the teak toerail and no attachment points on it. Still want to know if the chainplates will stand up to the hoist. TH.

Thomas, I found this in my personal archives about lifting the M17. It's from Jerry M., so you can't get a much better answer than that.

We used to lift the 17's (to keel them and put them on the trailer) by the extruded toe rails with no problem. Inspect the boat carefully and if everything is tight, lift from 4 points, using plenty of scope on the sling.
