Very few of the large boats winterized where we keep ours are properly
supported, in my opinion.

Most of the large boats are being held off the hard by jacks or by wood
blocks jacked into place and only at four places on the boat, two at the
stern and two forward of amidships.

My feeling is that if you are storing a boat on land, it ought to be on
a cradle, a device that supports most of the bottom and spreads the
loads out fairly equally. Supporting the weight of a large boat of many,
many tons displacement on four tiny points means that most of the boat's
weight is unsupported and will put undue stress on unsupported areas.

Agree? Disagree?
