I am considering having a cradle made for winter storage. The appropriate size will allow me to gain access to the keel (& box) for maintenance etc. Has anyone had a cradle made and/or recommend a fabricator.

Many thanks in advance,

Peter White: Osiris, no 42

I had steel cradles made for both my 275 and 325 by Nick Wooley of Southbourne tel:01202 420479 Both very well made and reasonable cost.

The 275 was high enough to allow the keel to be fully extended

but I had the ones for the 325 made somewhat smaller as I didn't fancy working on a deck some 10 feet off the ground.
