Tom,

Have you contacted Marine Cradle Shop in Sutton, ON? They make a lot of cradles 
for sailboats. I think that 80% of cradles in our Club were made by them.

They can be found here: http://cradleridetrailers.com/

I am pretty confident that they have the exact specifications for your boat.

When I bought my boat 4 years ago and needed a cradle they had all the 
necessary information. I used a local shop (save on shipping and a bit on the 
cradle). Again, he had the specs.

It would be really cool to be able to do that, unfortunately where I live there 
are no facilities, the residents here rent the crane and haul all boats in one 
day, not sure how I'm going to like this 😊

Would you happen to know the approximate length of your stands from the base to 
the top of the pads. I'm going off a C&C 27 MK IV cradle, the stands are 
averaging 27 3/4 inches which seems short.


Cheers,

When we made mine, we hung the boat in a travelift for a couple days while the 
fabricator built the cradle around the boat.

Hello,

I have a C&C 30 that will require a cradle in a couple of weeks. I have made 
the base and the keel rest. I'm struggling with the length of the stands and 
wondering if I could get some insight.

My cradle is 14' long by 77" wide, I have a 10" wide "C" channel keel bed that 
is 62 1/2" long. The keel bed is 69" from the front of the cradle and 37" from 
the rear of the cradle. I would like to put 8 stands plus a bow roller.

Here is what I'm thinking for the stands:

front two will be 1' 8" from center line
Front aft two will be 2'7" from center line, in line with the front of the keel 
plate
Rear two will be 3'2" from center line, in line with the rear of the keel plate
Last two will be 2'4" from center line.

I would appreciate any help, this will be a first for me having my boat craned 
onto a cradle and I'm queasy just thinking about it.

Cheers
