Adjustable, Folding Steel Cradles
We build six sizes of cradles - their individual specifications are listed below. The
right cradle for your boat is generally determined by displacement. The cradle can
be adjusted to any hull shape, and the vertical tubes can be sized for any draft. At
one time or another, we have cradled most of the modern sailboats and have all of the
dimensions on file, so we can help with the exact tube lengths for your boat. There are
a few exceptions, such as some of the lightweight high performance sport boats that can
have a rather deep draft in relation to displacement and length. An example of picking
which cradle: Say your boat is 29 feet long, displaces 7,200 pounds with a 4 and a half
foot draft, the Model One is the obvious choice. It has a capacity of 10,000 pounds and
can accomodate 30 feet of hull length. Now, say your boat is 40 feet long, 7,200 pounds
in displacement and 7 and a half feet in draft. The Model One is clearly too short, so
we may suggest a Model 1.5 or 2.
