Title: lifting the boat w/o the bridle

winter fun. I lifted the boat in a barn. I used three points, two aft with a sling under the boat and one off the bow. However, as I did this the chainplates were very tempting....seemed like the balance point.

Cringing as I type this....can you safely lift a viper from the chainplates?

I'll add - can it be safely done without the keel (eliminates approx 1/3 of the weight)?

Thoughts?
