About ready to flip boat right side up
Looking for some help on design of cradle to support
Is there specific stations that need support?
Is there drawings available for a cradle?

Any help appreciated

Make sure the spanners are strong. Always best to cradle on bulkheads; no matter the boat ftmp.

The cradle should protect the hull if any flip failure occurs.

The best way is to temp attach the cradle top to the bulkheads with uprights, then say a 2x8 or so across the top. This way, should you drop the hull during a flip; it does not damage the hull much.

The flip is something every builder always worries about. In the end 99% of the time it turns into a non event. Lets hope it works that way for you also.
In the top section the questions and announcement section I think Jaysen posted how to add pictures to your posts. I just make a folder in the gallery and upload them to there. The pictures need to be less than 9 meg. It will tell you if they are too big. After the picture is uploaded I open another window in the forum and make my post, click on the icon that looks like a mountain andImage you get this. Then go to the window with your picture, click on it so it opens up big, right click and select copy image location. Go back to the other window and right click between the two img and select paste. Hope that helps as we would really like to see pictures :wink:
