My 21' is off and running. I've been meaning to post more pics but have dropped the ball. I will remember my camera this weekend! Basically, to accommodate lifting, we installed new lifting eyes on the transom (installed right next to the existing eyes which we left in place for porposes of using tie-downs when tailoring). The new lifting eyes (as well as the preexisting eyes) pass through 5"x4" stainless steel plates that sandwich the transon. We used some pretty high end French made hardware as each of the new eyes are rated at about 10k lbs. (I will find my receipt at home and post the manufacturer/rating/price inf.) As to the bow eye, We replaced the original eye with the same new hardware installed on the transom. Interestingly, when I inspected the original stainless eye, I observed that it had begun to corrode and was pitted, so I was pleased to replace it. At any rate, we turned the new eye around so that you can hook it through the anchor locker. Fortunately, the hoist (as you can see in the pic) that I use is made to accommodate racing sailboats so we had lots of room to work with and were able to clear the T-top without a spreader bar. As to the bridle, we used spectra rated for about 15k lbs. As stated, I will force myself to remember to put more pictures as I hope that maybe this will help somebody out in the future as much as the folks on this website helped me out in reaching a great solution. Finally, as our kids were in the same first grade class last year, I got Ray the owner or Rigworks in San Diego, to help me out with all this stuff. He has a ton of experience, had some great ideas and made me feel good about doing everything the right way, to assure safety.
