Everything goes on in and out of the water via a 5k hoist. The exact question was posted several years ago - unfortunately, the end result/ finding/ solution was never posted.
1. Center of Mass of the F235
2. Per the folks in South Carolina It’s information supposedly available/ published with the original design.
3. Could easily be calculated if we knew the bow & stern weight -Applied Physics
4. Contact name of anyone on France that could provide said information. We’ll be in Italy/Spain in August - we’re open to knocking on some doors - if we’re reduced to such tactics
Thanks for the support - I’ll post images/ parts list/ rationale once once completed...
Regards
Albert

What are you trying to do?

If you lift via the aft keel bolt, you will be very close. Every boat I know that does this has to stabilize via lines to winches etc to hold the boat level. Same for the 235. Are you looking for a point where the boat lifts level on one strop? Your personal gear stored inside will upset that.
