During windy conditions, check more frequently for proper boat shoring and security of our boat stands while they are stabilizing your boat. Our nestable and stackable boat stand bases should be kept painted with rust preventative paint. Moisture and salt creep up from the ground and corrosion may start from the boat stand base bottom up. Replace any badly rusted boat stands or rotted blocks if safety is jeopardized. Use minimum of 2 sets blocking, plus an additional set for every 10 feet of boat length over 20 feet.
Place stands with point of triangle facing away from center of boat.
This permits placing dunnage under tip of base to conform pad to hull. If ground is soft, use suitable dunnage under stands in order to get full contact. To position against hull, hold the screw with one hand, raise screw with pad to boat hull, spin the wing nut with other hand, continuing to tighten until desired tension is realized. Use safety chain on all sailboat stands. Run chain under hull starboard to port and bolt to pads.
