Our yacht club has a crane for launching small keel boats, but there is a question if the 216 is strong enough without 2 sling straps around the hull. We have been launcing it off the ramp with the car, but this has become difficult. Has any owner of a 216 devised a way to launch with a crane and some type of wire harness that may fasten with 3 or 4 points on the boat, maybe a spreader bar would be necessary to prevent a squeeze of the hull. Thanks!
