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

[Gordon Laco via Public-List]

Hi there. 

I've seen lifts on out boats done with the after sling aft of the rudder, but I feel the safest is with the after sling catching the keel just forward of the heel of the rudder. 

Surprises sling stickers are in the vicinity of her sheet winches.  

I insist on tying lines between the fore and aft slings as low as is practical so as to inhibit the slings from slipping out wards. 

Happy landing!

Amazing the amount of compliments an Alberg gets over a summer!  But all good things come to an end and I have started planning the haul out (another first for me)!  On the boat there are stickers and black dots affixed to the sheer that appear to identify lift points (as the stickers say lift) for travel lift or crane.  One point is aft of the rudder, basically under the lazarette portion of the keel starting at the rear of the cockpit.  The other is at the front close to forward shroud area, none for under the keel which seems to be the preferred lift point based on searching the archives.  I had issues with the keel splitting at the forefoot last winter (fixed hopefully) so would really prefer to support the keel if at all possible.
