[Rhodes22-list] Bunk spacing on a boat lift

[Michael D. Weisner]

Barry,

Please be very careful of the weight applied to the Rhodes 22 keel area.

It was designed to be supported from the side (upper) bunks when trailered.

I found this discussion in the archives:

We have made significant progress on the rebuild of our Rhodes22. In the
next few days we should be able to launch her and find out if she floats.
The question for the group pertains to bunk spacing on a boatlift that I'm
having installed now. Typical boatlift bunks are straight, as there are only
two support beams on a lift , and they are over 8' apart. I'm assuming that
the bunks would want to be fairly close to the shoal keel, maybe around 18"
or so inbetween. I would like to have them a bit wider, but I'm not sure
about the bottom strength of a sailboat.  We will try to get away without
the second set of support bunks higher up on the bow. I will attempt to
attach a picture of a typical lift showing the straight bunks I will be
dealing with.
