Winterization


Type: The correct type of Marine boat stand (sailboat vs. motorboat) is determined by the angle between the hull and the stand center pipe. The threaded rod from the top that enters the stand center pipe should do so at approximately a 90° angle to the boats hull. For example, a motor boat with a deep v bow would use a pair of sailboat stand at the bow, with motor boat stands at the stern.

Size: To determine the proper Brownell Boat Stand to use, you first must realize the boat stands are to stabilize your boat and the keel blocking supports the boats weight. A simple method would be to take the draft of the boat (in inches), add the height of the blocking pile, and subtract about six inches. Base your decision on keeping a minimum amount of thread exposed on the top.

Saliboat stand Number Required: A minimum of four boat stands should be used with powerboats and a minimum of five boat stands should be used with sailboats. One exception: a full keel sailboat may not require a bow stand. Use a pair of boat stands, one placed port and one placed starboard, for approximately each 8 feet of the boat's length. If you are going to be stored in an extremely windy area or leaving a sailboat mast stepped, extra boat stands should be used in addition to our minimum requirements.

Liability: Because the performance and safety of boat stands is dependent on the way they are used, the manufacturer assumes no liability beyond the purchase price of the boat stands.
 

Sailboat stands are bulky, as a result they have to ship via common carrier. Call us for a shipping rate.
