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.

Probably a good idea. Tie downs to helical anchor screws would be
even better I think but I've never seen anyone do that.
