I was told by the crane operator that my 35-2 weighed 19,000 lbs at haulout, which seems a bit excessive, even with full tanks and cruising gear. The crane is limited to 20,000 lbs, and since at least two other larger boats were hauled at the same time (Cabot 36 - 17,800 rated and Hughes 38 - 14,800 rated), I have my doubts about this figure. I would like to know the actual weight though. Two larger boats in our club, a Landfall 42 and a 40-2, manage to get hauled by the crane after a weight reduction exercise. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto
