It seems to me that when Jerry was in So Cal, there were photo's at So Bay
Yacht Club that showed a M15 being hoisted by the chain plates. It may
have been in one of the early brochures.
Jerry, ring a bell???

Subject: Re: M_Boats: Lifting M15 by chain plates
I haven't lifted an M15 by the chainplates, but I understand it's perfectly
safe (Jerry's done it). That said, I've lifted an older M17 with the toe
rail with no problem at all. I'd do it, but I'd be a little nervous too.
If I had my druthers, I'd use a strap.
Your ordinary M15 weighs in at around 750 pounds. t
