Yes, the 320 can support its weight on the keel.  Most yards set up the 
jackstands while the hull is still suspended in the travel-lift slings, 
but those stands keep the hull from falling over when the slings are 
removed.  There ARE different hull stresses when the boat is "on the 
hard," but the 320 hull-to-bilge-to keel engineering is much stronger 
than most of the sixties and seventies vintage boats hauled out and 
sitting on their keels in boatyards.  Dave White, C320 no 624
