Photos of boat Cradle?

[sailor3X7]

I am building a 15' Glen-L design and I am close to painting the hull. I want to get the cradle built so it will be ready when I turn the hull. If anyone has any photos of a cradle that might be helpful in determining how to best build one I would be grateful.<br />Thanks

Re: Photos of boat Cradle?

I found some good examples on the Glen-L site for you and a good suggestion...build a cradle that can double as a moving aid, having wheels under it.<br /><br />

<br /><br /><br />This is a great slide show of the above cradle design in action:<br /><br /> http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/boatphotos/slideshow?.dir=/c952&.src=ph <br /><br /><br />The commercial example below won't work for you but just for fun check out this boat cradle:<br /><br /> http://www.capsizer.com/capsizer.php <br /><br />

Very cool EZ.<br />Thanks. I know there are even more photos on the Glen-L site, but for some reason today I was not having much luck turning them up.<br />Wimper, I really do need to load some photos. I'll try to do that soon.

I built a simple cradle when I built my Glen-L Console Skiff. I submitted a small article for a glen-l newsletter:<br /><br /> http://www.glen-l.com/weblettr/webletters-6/webletter49.html#cradle

Thanks Dan. Great job and I really like the idea of putting the thing on rollers.<br />Great looking finished boat.

Thanks EZ and Sailor. <br /><br />Absolutely put it on wheels. You'll appreciate the extra working space you will get by moving the boat around.
