629.0. "Making a Cradle" by GRAMPS::WCLARK (Walt Clark) Fri Aug 21 1987 17:03

    RE: reply 263.101  HELP-CRADLE WANTED
    
    I saw a cradle created from 4 yard stands in the September '87 
    Cruising World.
    
    As I recall the stands were welded to one another with angle iron
    and steel pipe.  This idea might work for you. I cannot recall if
    this "cradle" supported the keel, or if it sat on separate blocks. 
    
    I assume the problem in this yard is that they use a mule to transport
    boats in the yard, instead of a Travel Lift or hydralic trailer,
    since most of the mules lift the cradle instead of the boat.
