Luckily our club keeps adding gliders! We are running out of room and

a K13?

We do this with our ASK13 since 25 years. I'll try to find some pictures
and send them to you via private mail.

I have seen one K13 hoisted by a pair of contoured wooden beams below each
wing, I think they were covered with thick carpeting, and used nylon
webbing to a central lift point. Remember... The CofG will be further
back towards the trailing edge without a pilot in the seat.
