RE: Fw: Re: M_Boats: lifting ring
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.

Thomas I wouldn't lift the 17 with the chainplates. The chainplates are deck mounted and while they are strong its not worth risking putting stress on a balsa cored deck. (on older boats it may cause some cosmetic stress cracking) The caprail/aluminum toerails of the older boats are probably sufficient for an empty boat (at Jerrys boatshop) but again, why not just use a couple of slings that go under the hull and be safe? The caprails are very strong but I would worry about the 'way' the boat was plucked and the distribution of the 'load' at the pick up points. A small pick up point, improperly attached won't break the hull/deck flange but may cause (like anyboat)\ a stress point that would show up as a gelcoat crack. If you could spread the load over a wider area, at 4 pickup points, then it would work without stressing out one, small area. For the metal toerails maybe a multiple (2 slings on each of 4 corners with plenty of scope) would work just fine. Boats tend to gain weight as they get older. :-) Fair winds Bob Thomas Howe wrote:
