Hunter 216 Lake Pleasant
I hope to be spending some time in SoCal and have access to several clubs with hoists. Seems the H216 is good to sling according to Rehoboth Bay Sailing and Richard Steinle who was kind enough to send me pictures of his setup. My boat and stuff is around 1600# leaving 400# or so on each lifting point. I load up the stays to 360# in a breeze anyway. Just wait till she is floating and set the tension.

"I too have a H-216 (335) and dry sail the boat launching and retrieving using the club's 2000# hoist. Been doing this since 2006 with never a problem. I did reinforce the stern cleats with a backing plate. "
