[Public-List] Sling points for haul out (& boat #102)

[Brian Zinser]

Based on info from an A37 owner in my yard, putting the sling behind 
the rudder will work but puts a lot of pressure on (I'm searching for 
the right word) the hull.  I have an older hull and believe that it is 
over-built enough that it could handle the load for a short period of 
time.  However, if I was going to have the boat in the sling for an 
extended period, I would put the sling just forward of the rudder on 
the keel.  Just remember, if you put the sling on the keel, make sure 
you have an extra piece of lumber to put down before you drop the keel 
or you'll never get the sling off.
