Cool lift. I would suggest two sturdy guy lines on each corner going out 15 to 20 feet, secured to either heavy stakes or trees. I would be concerned about the affects of windage especially with a boat on the lift.

Looks strong enough. But I'm a belt and suspenders type of guy. Stands under anything lifted or jacked up. Like you already mentioned.

It looks sturdy but depending boatweight I would check the buckling strength for your four vertical beams.

Our boats are 1500 lbs max. It’s been five years now.

Thank you for the description of your lifting rig! If I were younger, I would pretty much like to build a similar one. But at the age of 73, it's a bit late...

you've got 10 years on me. i retired, and got my first sailboat, 1975 Chrysler 22' that definitely wants a lift now and again.

I have read that the swing keel in the San Juan 21 is unusual in that it is made primarily of fiberglass and it has lead weights inside of it in the lower region of the swing keel. Most trailer sailers have cast iron swing keels which rust badly. Lead has two advantages. It is more dense than iron and it doesn't rust. Can you confirm this?

Maybe with some research on the FB san juan 21 page

that is great to lift it but you need to place a cradle or support underneath it to work on it. Please visit a boat yard to see what is required. observe some safety standards

Are you able to lift it high enough to get the CB down completely verticle? Or, nearly so such that a shallow trench would then allow for a complete down position? I'm wondering if 10 foot legs are enough for a complete lift.

Yes. Enough room for centerboard.

That boat lift is bad to the bone. I see your NC license. We are neighbors.
