Ed:
I had a Kirby 25 that had a single point lift arrangement similar to
what Colin described. The PO had a metal bar specifically constructed
that spanned two keels bolts.....you would remove the 2 nuts, place the
steel bar down over the bolts, replace the nuts. The steel bar had "D
shaped" metal holders welded to each end......a permanent lift strap was
attached to the D shaped holders.
A 6" hole was cut in the coach roof where the main lift entered to
connect to the 'lift strap, metal bar'. The hole had an removable
opening port. Simple arrangement once it was constructed but knowing
where the 'balancing point' is is the challenge. If you can find
another C&C 24 with a similar arrangement, that would be very helpful.
But keep in mind, every boat has different gear on board which might
affect the 'balancing point'.

Of course then there's the new hole in the cabin top. :-)
I'll be at my 24 next weekend (apparently our new small home addition
is the priority is weekend), and I'll try to remember taking a photo of the
keel bolts.

My J24 (and all others) lift from a single point, but there's a bar
that spans 2 keel bolts and we put a shackle around that bar.
Presumably you could rig a similar arrangement on a C&C 24.
It's a lot simpler than using slings...

Wondering if anyone has modified their C&C 24 to have a single lifting point
from the the keel bolts. The Ranger 23 next to me has had this modification
done. Would work much better with my club lift and trailer than straps.
Also, anyone have a pic of their C&C 24 bilge? Just want to see if my bolts
are as they should be and original. For close to the same weight keel, my
bolts seem oversized compared to the Ranger 23 next to me. I'm thinking if
they are original they will be strong enough for a single lift point?
Thanks!
