[Public-List] Sorry about that but starting to plan haul out!

[Wes Gardner via Public-List]

Hi Maurice,

Last time I hauled, the straps were placed just forward or about even with
the forward lowers (for the forward one) and about 2 feet forward of the
rudder shoe.  I've got a pic of her in the slings if you want it.  I think
this is fairly typical for a full keel boat.  I believe the straps could
have been spread out a bit and still be just fine.  This is using a
TravelLift.
