Wow Ken,
There it is
". . . at least 60% of the weight of the yacht should be on the keel.
The hull supports should not bear more than 30% to 40% of the weight
of the yacht."
The owners manual statement sets limits. Note, there is no maximum
stated for the keel and no minimum stated for the "hull supports" so
all is well to set the boat properly on the keel blocks and hand
tighten the stands evenly around the hull. We were over complicating
things.

A quote from the C&C 37+ Owner's Manual:
14.2 Cradle Support
When hauling on a marine railway or placing the yacht in its storage
cradle, otherwise, structural damage may result if these
weight percentages are not followed. Do not put weight on the keel
further aft than the last
keel bolt. The extreme aft tip of the keel is tapered to a thin
section and will accept little
weight without the possibility of bending (see 3.5). It may be
necessary to go through the
loading process two or three times, checking the keel position
relative to the centreline of
the cradle, before it is finally positioned.

I dunno, you're probably right. I think he said his owner's
manual said that a minimum of 60% of the weight should be on the
keel.
