Where to find lifting points for a boat (Kenner Privateer 26)

Hello all, I'm looking at having my boat hauled out for a bit in the coming months to repaint the bottom and do some other much-needed maintenance. However, the boat did not come with any information regarding the lifting points/jack placements. When I Googled Kenner Privateer 26 lifting points I wasn't able to find much of anything. Any ideas on where to look, or ways to determine where those points might be? There didn't appear to be anything in the way of markings on the hull, but I'm also not sure exactly what it is I might be looking for. Thanks!

Take a look at the underbody profile in this link.
https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/privateer-26/

It appears that one sling will go just forward of the rudder heel fitting, and the other sling will go just behind where the compression post is for the mainmast.
The slings should be roped together to prevent slipping.
The hoist operator might jockey things a bit.
When it's all done write down the measurements from a selected datum for future reference.

Great, thanks for the advice. When being jacked on the hard are there any special considerations to be aware of? I seem to remember hearing somewhere that you'd typically align each jack with a bulkhead, and that the keel should support the majority of the weight with the jacks acting mostly to keep it upright.

You probably meant the keel, don't put weight on the rudder.
The keel blocks will take the weight, the jack-stands just maintain balance.
