Title: Width of cradle
Post by: Tmacmi on June 07, 2021, 08:07:07 AM

My boat yard limits cradle width to 7' No jack stands allowed.

Is there a typical cradle width?

I believe the owners manual shows the cradle and dimensions?
Manuals are on the wiki website, under "manuals"

Tmac: If you are a MK 1 C34?? the width of the stern cradle width is 7' 8" . Ref : page 5.2 of your owners manual.

A thought :cry4`

Hmmmm. I'll have to measure the cradle of the C34 that was in front of me this winter. Either that sets a precedent or they will have grandfathered it in.

TMAC : It makes no sense to limit the width of a cradle, because the width of any sail boat is wider than the cradle!!! Best recheck the Yards requirements!

BTW, do you have a Mk1 or II ??? Hull number??

A few thoughts
