Good point, my steel cradle is 6 feet wide and has 6 pads three on each
side. The pads are going 90 degrees up supporting the boat underneath with
the keel resting on a platform that is part of the cradle.
I was thinking of adding one stand on each side to supplement the cradle
lateral support.

The thing that I am concern about is the domino effect during strong
north
winter wind.

That's the primary reason I prefer mast-down, as a boat fell over a couple
of seasons back in October.

After that, every boat -- except ours -- was given 7 stands.
