Hi All!

I'm having the local marina pull my boat this week out. It will be stored there for the winter on jacks, and I am having them do a complete retrofit of all the swing keel hardware (pins, shims, winch, cable, etc.) Also replacing the thru-hulls per the advice of this forum (I bought a '79 swing keel this spring, and was going to do it before I put it in the water - but my son was seriously injured in a terrorist bus bombing in Israel, and my wife and I had to fly there for an extended period - needless to say, that was my first priority!)

Next year I plan on storing the boat on my property. I am looking for a trailer, but these seem to be few and far between. Thus I am considering building a cradle for it that can be used by my local boat transporter to move and store the boat (I have a Rhodes 22 that has its own cradle - it sank last year on its mooring - but thats another story!!!! It is back on my property, but the keel is broken - it was made from fiberglass with lead shot ballast. I am going to junk the boat, but I still want to try to use its cradle)

Anyway - are there any plans / blueprints floating around for a Cat25 cradle? If someone can point me in the right direction, it would be a great help!

Thanks!
