Larry: Attached is a photo showing how we lift our C-22s. The one in the photo is my son's. It took us years to get to where we are today, but we really like this arrangement. If you have an old barn, or as in our case, an old truck garage with a high cieling, this is a good way to lift your boat. We now use 4, 1 ton winches which were purchased from Harbor Freight, and 2 straps that we had made by MSC. I think that the straps are 3 inches wide. We stuff strips of old shag carpet between the straps and the hull to protect it. With 4 people we can lift the boat up in just a minute, or with 2 people we have to go front and back, and it takes longer, but it is still easy.

David: Thanks for your photos on redoing your keel. We want to redo ours this coming spring, and your photos and text will help.
