Has anyone lifter their M15 by the chain plates? Are they strong enough? How much does an M15 weigh? signed "A little nervous" Jim Sadler
I haven't lifted an M15 by the chainplates, but I understand it's perfectly safe (Jerry's done it). That said, I've lifted an older M17 with the toe rail with no problem at all. I'd do it, but I'd be a little nervous too. If I had my druthers, I'd use a strap. Your ordinary M15 weighs in at around 750 pounds. t On 2/19/07, Jim Sadler <jimsadler@jascopacific.com> wrote:

Thanks I am only lifting it 6in off the trailer ( to get the trailer out) I guess if something is going to let go it will happen in the first 6 in. or first 1 in for that matter. I thought the boat was more than 750 lbs. I am not as worried with only 750/2= 375lbs each chain plate.

It seems to me that when Jerry was in So Cal, there were photo's at So Bay Yacht Club that showed a M15 being hoisted by the chain plates. It may have been in one of the early brochures. Jerry, ring a bell???

yes, we used to lift al 15's to keel them and then put them on the trailer by the chainplates. Never dropped even one!

Thanks Jerry I will sleep better. Once I get her aloft any hints on freeing up a stuck center board? I think mine is one of those with steel balast.
