I spoke to both Bob Eeg and Jerry Montgomery. I combined their two methods of lifting and came up with the following as a temporary solution which I will make permanent when I have it done in wire. 1. a line from the port and starboard chain plates attaching to a lifting ring. The lifting ring is made for the purpose and is rated. It does not have a weld. The lines extend up 7 to 8 feet. 2. the lines attach to a Wichard shackle on each of the chain plates. They go in the extra holes. 3. a continuous line from one aft cleat to the other with a loop in the center, 4. a block and tackle from the loop to the lifting ring. This enables you to find the balance point. I used this method to lift the boat and make adjustments to the bunks on my new Pacific Trailer. Eventually, I will add a pad eye to the port and starboard toe rail about 18 inches from the aft quarters. I'll use these as my aft lifting points. The rear bridle will be replaced with wire. A single wire will go from this point to the lifting ring. It 's possible that I will go directly to the lifting ring. Bert Felton Zephyr, M 15
