I just bought a 1979 C22 and will be getting it towed to its new home. It will be up on blocks and popits. Do you block up the swing keel like you would on a regular sail boat or do you block forward and rear of the keel ?

I would block the hull of the boat, fore and aft, not the swing keel. That's how the yard set it up when I had her hauled out last spring. However, let the swing keel rest on something instead of keeping it suspended with the lift cable.
