Hello,

I am looking for plans for a NS26 winter storage cradle.

Barring that, is there anyone who has one to sell?

Many thanks.

Congrats on your fabulous new boat, Randy !!

My bit of advice to you is: If you are a metalworker, go for it because you’ll be able to craft a nice FOLDING (operative word) cradle - good and strong, etc. or, buy a used or new metal FOLDING cradle.

Do not build, buy or use a non-folding wooden one as many yards, marina and clubs don’t like them and most haulers will not transport them.

Best
