Boat Stands, Jack Stands, and Blocks

What is a boat stand.

A boat stand (aka jack stand or poppet) is used on land to support the port and starboard sides of a boat while the weight of the boat rests on keel blocks or keel stands. A typical boat stand has 3-4 supporting legs and a central strut that contains a threaded rod with a pad on top.

What are the different kinds of stands?

Boat stands come in a variety of sizes, heights and angles, and are available with flat or V-shaped pads. The two main types of boat stands are powerboat stands and sailboat stands. Typically, sailboat stands have an angled center strut and powerboat stands have a straight, vertical center strut. A keel stand can be used under the keel to support the full weight of a boat.

What type of boat stand should I get?

While it may seem obvious that you should get boat stands based on the type of boat you own, that's not necessarily the case. For example, a powerboat with a deep V-bow would use angled sailboat stands at the bow and powerboat stands at the stern. It's important to choose boat stands based on the angle formed between the hull and the boat stand's center strut. The threaded rod from the top should enter the stand's center strut at approximately a 90 degree angle to the boat's hull.

How many boat stands do I need?

The type and length of your boat determines the number of boat stands needed. Position a pair of stands (one port, one starboard) every 8 feet. In general, for a powerboat or motorboat, you need at least four stands (two on each side, under the chines); for a sailboat, you need at least five stands (two angled stands on each side and a v-stand under the bow). Use additional stands if you're in an extremely windy area, or if you're leaving a sailboat mast in place. In addition, a boat with excessive overhang will require extra stands to support it.

How many stands do sailboats need?

Sailboats typically need one pair of angled stands every eight feet, plus a v-pad stand to cradle the bow. The one exception is a full-keel sailboat, which may not require a bow stand. Use extra stands if the mast is up, if you're in a windy area, or if you have a fin keel sailboat.

How many stands do I need for a powerboat?

For a powerboat, you need one pair of boat stands on each side of the hull, every eight feet along the length of the boat. If using keel stands to support the weight instead of keel blocks, place one keel stand every ten feet along the length of the keel.

What size stands will I need?

To figure out what size stands you need, add the draft of the boat (in inches) to the height of the blocks being placed under the keel, then subtract six inches.

How do you support a boat stand?

Make sure the ground is solid and fairly flat. Place a plywood base under each stand or a small piece of plywood under each leg to spread the load evenly and keep the stand legs from sinking. This is especially important to do on loose ground or asphalt, which can soften in the heat.

How do you use boat stands?

After a boat is pulled out of the water on a travel lift or trailer and placed on flat ground on keel blocks, the boat stands are placed against the port and starboard sides of the boat. Boat stands keep the boat from falling on its side, but they're not designed to support the full weight of the boat. Using boat stands is a balancing act, done by placing them one pair at a time, every eight feet, on opposite sides of the boat. The tops of the boat stands should rest against the hull. For sailboats, secure each port/starboard side pair of stands with a length of safety chain. Refer to the stand manufacturer's directions for placing and tightening stands and safety chain.

What is a boat block?

A boat block is a wide, thick, rectangular, square-cut piece of pine timber. It's made especially for safely and securely supporting the entire weight of a boat, along the centerline, under the keel.

What is a keel block?

A keel block is the same as a boat block that's placed under the keel. However, a more convenient way to block a boat is to place keel stands under the keel, every 10 feet. A keel stand has a threaded center rod with a pad on top that can be raised to rest flat against the bottom of the keel.

How do you block up a boat?

To block a boat, it's put on blocking piles, on flat, solid ground, after it's been pulled from the water on a trailer or travel lift. A blocking pile consists of three blocks - two large ones, placed parallel to each other, and a smaller block placed across the top, on which the keel will rest. Typically, you need a minimum of two blocking piles under the centerline of the keel to keep the boat from rocking fore and aft. Check your owner's manual for details. To avoid stress on the boat, position keel blocks under bulkheads. If desired, the height of the blocking piles can be adjusted for drainage, but for stability, the piles should be as low to the ground as possible.

What are safety chains used for?

Safety chain (3/16" minimum) is used to secure each pair of stands on opposite sides of a boat. There's a place on each boat stand to attach the safety chain.

What are some tips for using boat stands?

• Make sure the ground is solid and fairly flat.
• Check blocks for rotting or splitting; replace damaged or badly rusted stands.
• Place a plywood base under each stand to spread the load evenly and keep the stand legs from sinking.
• Use pairs of boat stands, one placed to port and one to starboard, every 8 ft. along the boat's length.
• Use 3/16" safety chains on all side sailboat stands, chaining pairs together from port to starboard.
• Always chain angled stands, regardless of boat type.
• Use a minimum of four stands per boat, and one set every 10' for longer boats.
• Use a V-stand of an appropriate angle under the bow of all fin keel or bow-heavy sailboats or powerboats.
• In windy areas, remove masts; if mast must be left in, use extra stands.
• If a stand must be removed from under a boat, place another stand beside it first.
• For safety, check boats left on stands frequently, especially if boats are stored for long periods of time.
• Use boat stands to suspend a boat in midair.
• Place blocks on top of boat stands or beneath the legs of boat stands to increase their reach.
• Use rope instead of safety chain to secure boat stand pairs because it can stretch and move the stands out of position.
• Let anyone other than qualified, experienced or authorized person(s) adjust or move boat stands after the stands are in position.
• Tie anything to the boat stands, such as a tarp because the wind can catch it and topple the stand.

Choosing and Using Jackstands

Innovator brownell still stands out in expanding field of boat stands..

Were guessing 90 percent of sailors have their boat hauled by a yard. A travel lift or crane plucks the boat from the water, and yard guys block the boat for the winter. Your sole involvement is reading a warning in the lease agreement that you will not touch the stands and that you will not attach anything to them, including tarps. Those are good rules, and nothing we are about to say is meant to contradict them.

On the other hand, some of you will need to have stands repositioned to perform bottom work. The yard will do the moving, but its helpful if you understood what they can and cannot do. Some of you will trailer your boat home for the winter. Maybe it will stay on the trailer, but maybe you want or need to move it off to get the work done.

You need to know how to work safely. A few of you will have the boat transported home by hydraulic trailer and blocked by pros; very handy if you have a lot of work to do. But you will need to buy the stands and know how to move them when needed (remember to buy an extra pair-this is required to move them safely).

Safe Practice

Most of the weight should be on wooden blocks, with the stands serving only for balance. Additionally, substantial weight on the keel prevents shifting of the keel in a beam wind. According to ABYC, there should be at least two blocking points; a single blocking point can allow the boat to rock fore and aft.

Never block the keel more than 2 blocks high, and one is much better. Boats 30 feet or less can use several solid wooden blocks 4 x 4 x 18 inches. Boats 31-40 feet should use 6 x 6 x 18-inch blocks, and boats 40 feet or longer should us 8 x 8 x 18-inch blocks not more than 5 feet apart.

The American Boat and Yacht Council is explicit about how jackstands should be used for recreational craft. The stands should be spaced no more than 10 feet apart, with the forward-most and after-most pairs of stands no more than 10 feet from the ends of the waterline. Powerboat stands should be set with the aft pair placed as close to the aft end of the waterline as structure permits, and spaced no more than 10 feet apart.

The boat must be vertical. The angled stands are there only to provide balance. The boats weight should be borne by the blocking. Do not use stands to support the weight of the boat, other than keel stands specifically designed for this purpose. Some boats require that the weight of the boat be supported on the chine. Use supports designed for this load.

Install stands as far outboard as practical and with the adjusting screw as close to perpendicular to the hull as practical. Sometimes it is necessary to tip the stand to make it perpendicular to the hull. Do not block more than two legs of a stand.

On vessels with extreme overhang, forward or aft, a stand should be placed under the overhang perpendicular to the centerline. Do not place blocks on top of boat stands to increase their reach. Stands should not be used as jacks to raise or lower the boat. Apply boat stand(s) so that, after the blocking operation is complete, the stand screw can still be adjusted up and down.

Secure each pair of stands across the boat with chains (3/16-inch minimum) to prevent the stands from sliding out. The material used to tie the stands together should be at least 3/16-inch chain. Rope or wire is not recommended because it can stretch and allow the stands to slip. Do not tie anything to the stands; for example, wind catching under a tarp can tip a stand.

The procedure for placing stands is this:

• Place the boat on the keel blocks, using flat wooden shims to get a good fit.
• Place the first set of jacks near the center.
• Connect the jacks with chain. There is a slot to drop the chain in.
• Slide the jacks apart until the chain is TIGHT. Place plywood pads under the feet to prevent sinking. Use pads on paving, too, as stands can slide.
• Tighten the jacks. The handles should be quite snug, but additional leverage is not required. Placed using this sequence, the jacks AND the chain are tight.
• Avoid placing chains under centerboard casings if possible. There may be work to be done in this area.
• Avoid placing chains under fin keels; space the stands so that the chains are in front and behind.
• Bow stands are not typically chained. Powerboat stands are often not chained, but they should be unless located on a flat chine.
• Repeat for each stand pair.

In other words, stand pairs must be linked with chain BEFORE the jacks are tightened. This ensures that the chain and jack pair are tightened as a unit and will not shift or loosening when the wind blows.

Boats on Trailers

Many DIYs would love to lift the boat off the trailer to make work more accessible. Our first advice is don’t. The safety concerns are real. If you need the boat off the trailer and on stands for access, consider having it delivered by hydraulic trailer and blocked by pros.

Small boats can be jacked a few inches by manipulating the trailer. Drop the trailer tongue to the ground and block the transom. Raise the tongue and block the bow. Then insert intermediate blocks, either 2x4s or 4x4s, on top of the bunks (a minimum of three on each side) for safety. The parts of the bottom you missed can now be scratch sanded and painted using extensions. Never place any part of your body where the boat can drop on it.

If the boat is on rollers, shifting the boat fore and aft can provide access, but don’t go so far as to make the trailer unstable; they can tip. Place solid blocks under the trailer frame before shifting the boat. Some boats have adjustable bunk boards that can be lowered, but alternative support must be provided.

In other cases, it may be necessary to remove the trailer. We can remove our trimaran from the trailer using four jacks. We extend the two floats outwards, jack the boat clear of the trailer using motorboat jacks with V-tops, and the slowly pull the trailer out. We then place two motorboat stands under the keel for security before work begins. The primary rules are to never jack the boat more than a few inches above the trailer and to keep your body clear. If there is ANY doubt, leave boat moving and blocking to professionals.

Lifting Capacity

Some very light boats and multihulls (under 4,000 pounds) can be lifted a few inches using motor boat or keel stands. The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) does not advise this, but it can be done if appropriate precautions are taken. Grease the threads liberally with heavy waterproof grease. Lifting 1,000 pounds requires about 250 inch-pounds of torque, which can be applied by pulling hard on the handles. Do not add apply additional leverage. We don’t recommend lifting more than 1,000 pounds with a stand, as the threads will gall. If the hull flexes, stop.

Moving Stands

Why would you ever move a stand? Painting under the pads is one reason. However, solvent-based antifouling paint dries very quickly, so it is accepted practice to touch-up the pad spots while the boat is hanging in the slings prior to launch. It will dry some in the 15 minutes it takes to get the boat to the water, and it will finish curing in the water.

Weve been doing this for 40 years without failure, and we patrolled the boat yards heavily, looking for any evidence of pad spots on boats coming out after 1-2 years. Weve never seen convincing bad spots, so were convinced its not worth moving the stands.

Water-based paint, on the other hand, takes as much as 24 hours to dry, or certainly at least 6 hours on a hot, dry day, and its not going to finish drying underwater. Moving the stands can be a good idea, or at least hanging in the slings over the lunch break, if possible.

Perhaps your bottom work is more extensive, including blister repair, a gelcoat peel, or fairing. If you plan to work on the bottom of the keel, encourage the yard to use low-profile keel stands; otherwise the only way to access the bottom is to have a travel lift pick the boat, which will cost about $150/hour. One yard quoted $3/foot to reblock.

Check stands routinely during storage season. The hull may begin to flex under the stand pad; move the stand so that it bears directly on a bulkhead and add additional stand pairs as be needed. Always install a new stand pair before moving the old pair. Watch for settling. Even with wooden pads under the feet, freeze/thaw cycling or poor ground can result in settling. In some cases, larger pads are needed, and perhaps more stands.

If you notice any of these conditions, bring it to the yards attention. They should fix it without charge. While youre at it, check a few boats on either side; just as preparing to weather a storm in a slip, if one boat comes loose, were all in the soup together.

Stand Details

For 95 percent of monohull blocking, solid wooden blocks support the keel, and angled boat stands connected with chains keep the boat in balance. However, there are a few exceptions:

Keel stands. These squat stands can replace wooden blocks and are handy if the blocking must be moved to accommodate keel work, such as fairing. We wish more yards had them available, but blocks are cheaper. It could make sense to buy your own if you have a bunch of work to do on the keel. However, remember that these cannot be removed entirely to work on the keel. As with side stands, another load bearing stand must replace each one that is moved, and side stands should never carry the weight of the boat.

Motorboat stands. These are for flatter bottoms, and are used on multi-hulls to support the amas and keels, since side braces are not needed. These are often used in place of keel stands for centerboard-equipped boats, and used under the bridge decks of catamarans.

Top pads . The stand prices in the value guide include a top pad. However, it is sometimes advisable to use a different pad. For example, V-tops are used in conjunction with angled sailboat stands under the bow, and V-tops are used with motorboat stands under some multihulls, depending on the hull profile. Top pads are all interchangeable and just drop in. The top includes the threaded jack rod and handle.

Anytime a side stand is moved, a new stand pair must be installed first. This means you will need one extra pair of stands. Anytime a motor boat stand is moved, install a new one first.

All manufacturers make a variety of stands, as described above. They also make stands used to support trailered boats for yard work. These are not reviewed here. Load ratings vary because manufacturers use different safety factors. We found no stories of stands failing, even in hurricanes, only stories of stands that slid out of position due to improper placement or extreme winds.

Brownell Boat Stands

For most people in North America, Brownell is the most familiar name in boatstands. All of the stands in the yards we visited for this report were made by Brownell. An innovator in the field since 1954, Brownell is now under new ownership. Heavily built, Brownell stands last a long time if you remember to grease the threads each year. The nesting design comes in handy for storage when sailing season begins.

Bottom line: As the industry standard in the U.S. and Canada (with distribution in Australia and Scandinavia), they are our Best Choice.

• Marine Mart

These are faithful copies of Brownell, we don’t know if there is a difference in durability, but they seem very similar and are considerably cheaper.

Bottom line: A Budget Buy if Brownell isn’t at close at hand.

Hostar Marine

Made from angle iron instead of pipe, this gives them more bearing surface on soft ground. They might also be more prone to skidding. The top chain arrangement might not stabilize the base of the stand as well, allowing movement. We might add a second chain down low. Popular in the Great Lakes region, less so on the coasts.

Bottom line: These sailboat stands are a good buy, but watch for corrosion.

Kropf Industrial

Much like the Hostar stands, these are fabricated from angle iron. We have not seen these in the field. It bugged us that the web page examples of sail boat blocking included critical errors.

Bottom line: We’ve not been able to evaluate these stands, but we did notice some poor examples of blocking on its website.

No-name stands pop up on eBay from time to time. We can’t see risking a purchase. Used stands are sometimes available on-line. They sell quickly for high prices. If you see a bargain Brownell advertised on-line, its worth investigating. When you no longer need your stands, they will sell easily.

Conclusions

We’ve seen the aftermath of fallen boats. Its not pretty. Blocking is quite safe, if the blocks are solid, and the stands are properly placed and chained. So safe, its easy to take it for granted, but don’t. Watch the yard workers work, see how it is done, and then let the yard guys move stands for painting. It is a strict lease requirement in any event. Do check on the stands a few times during the off season, looking for signs of settlement or loosening, but let the yard workers fix it.

If you have a trailered boat you take home for the winter, jacking of lighter boats is not out outside the range of DIY possibilities, but think it through and don’t make mistakes. People get crushed. An old millright we worked with told me that If anything strains, something is wrong. Something is going to get broken or someone is going to get hurt. The work must be meticulous and it must look and feel easy. Adhere to ABYC practices and avoid home-built stands.

We covered a thing or two about blocking boats. But, be careful and don’t run out and bite off more than you can chew. In most cases, this is a job for professionals.

Jacks is critical. The chain should be connected before you begin adjustment, or the jacks will not be snug. When tightening, the handles should be quite snug, additional leverage should not be not required. If the chain is connected after the jacks are tightened, there is a greater chance of a jackstand moving out of place.

• Don’t forget the pads under the feet. This yard has very firmly rolled gravel over hard clay, but many coastal yards are built on mush. The keel blocks are nice and solid.
• Planks should not span open space. If any rot sets in the keel could drop, placing the entire blocking scheme in jeopardy.
• Keep chains clear of the centerboard. Makes service a little tricky.

The 5 Best Boat Jack Stands for 2024

Brownell MB-3 Powerboat Stands

Brownell Angled Sailboat Stands

Dock N Stow Jack Stand Leveler

It’s no big secret that a lot of boaters don’t really bother with boat stands when it comes to storage. Often the boat stays on the trailer for the whole off season or, if it is being put up, cinder blocks and bricks with boards do most of the heavy lifting. And this does work out a lot of the time for a lot of boats. But it’s not the best or the safest way to store your boat, or to get under it to do any painting. You need to get your boat on stands for safety and stability, especially for vessels with a larger keep like sailboats. Stands provide that support and stability that prevents damage.

Brownell stands are some of the best boat stands on the market and they are quite versatile. Obviously you’ll need to adjust based on the size of your vessel but the MB-3 stand is a great option for most power boaters . Look for larger or smaller based on your needs, however.

As with any stands you’ll want a pair of these on either side of your boat for every 10 feet of boat at most. For heavier boats I’d recommend every 8 feet. Also, a separate keel standing, again, depending on what kind of boat you have, could also be needed.

Brownell motorboat stands are certified to a safe working load of 20,000 pounds. If you want to know how tough these are, according to the company, in over 60 years there has never been a report of a Brownell stand failing. Not once. So there you go. These are going to get the job done and do it well.

The solid steel center rod is precision threaded. The top swivels up to 25 degrees to allow for the perfect fit against the hull of your boat. Make sure you’re using them on even, flat ground with boards underneath to prevent sinking or tilting.

The major difference between a Brownell motorboat stand and a Brownell sailboat stand is the angle, as you can see. They’re built with a 23-degree angled base. Because of the shape of a sailboat , you need angled stands on the sides of the hull. It also works on powerboats with steep angled hulls.

One of these stands on either side of your sailboat keeps it snug and secure. Each Brownell sailboat stand is tested to withstand up to 20,000 pounds. But remember, as with any of these boat stands, their job is not to hold the weight of the boat. It’s to support the boat. You need to have the boat up on blocks to support the actual weight under the center of the vessel, holding its weight at the bow and the stern.

Place your sailboat stands every 8 to 10 feet along the side of your boat to keep it secure. Because of the already angled base and the swivel mounted top, you have 45 degrees to work with in terms of security the stand against your boat.

Remember, with sailboat stands, there is a safety chain that must be secured under the boat from parallel stand to parallel stand. This provides tension and stability. The stands are unable to slip once they are linked together from port to starboard under the boat. This absolutely has to be done or you run the risk of one of the stands giving way and your boat collapsing.

Attaching a safety chain is very easy as there is simply a notch in the welded crosspiece of the stand. Secure a link of the chain and then make your adjustments until the stand is secure.

This is an unusual entry here but it’s a good one and well worth looking into. Not necessarily a boat stand on its own, the Dock n Stow is a way to stabilize and level your stands or jacks and is basically the innovative future of the traditional wooden blocks or cinder block most people use to hold up their boat.

These are able to support a tongue jack, a stand, a support pole or really anything under your boat or trailer. One block has a 5000 lb capacity when used under a round or square foot or post.

The big benefit to Dock N Stow is that you can actually mount these to your trailer frame when not in use to keep them secure and out of the way. Then, when you do need them as keel blocks, they’re right there for use. They’re lighter than bricks or cinder blocks and far less damaging as well. Even wood blocks will break down over time, but these are designed to be weather and UV resistant. That means they can also easily handle water, freshwater or saltwater, as well.

Brownell Keel Stands

Back to Brownell again for their keel stand. The difference between a keel stand and a regular boat stand is significant. The other boat stands are not designed to hold weight. Many people don’t realize this at first but it’s true. The job of most boat stands is simply one of support and balance. They prevent the boat from shifting or falling over. But a keel stand is different. This is designed to hold the keel and the weight of the boat. The keel stand I have recommended here can handle 20,000 pounds so it’s a significant load that it is able to bear and likely more than suitable for most boaters. That said, Brownell offers keel stands rated for up to 80,000 pounds if you need something that can handle a larger vessel.

The Brownell keel stand is very easy to set up and adjust to the proper height. Just remember, even though these keel stands have a solid square base, you’ll want blocks under them to ensure even, reliable support.

Esco 3-Ton Capacity Jack Stand

Esco’s 3-ton capacity jack stand is, as the name suggests, a jack and a stand. When you need more than just a stand to help raise your boat up, this is a good option. It has a load capacity of 6,000 pounds with a maximum height of 21.5 inches. There are 10 different adjustable levels you can take the stand to, as well. Remember, if you’re jacking up the rear of your boat and want to use two of these, you need a friend to help you raise them evenly in a synchronized way to avoid your boat slipping.

The flat rubber top offers cushioning for the hull and is less likely to leave scratches than some other jack stands. A locking pin ensures you can lock the stand in place when you achieve the desired height. A powder coating for the finish will help fight off rust as well.

Things to Remember

Fortunately there isn’t a whole lot to worry about in terms of sailboat stands. They are typically very simple so shopping for them is pretty easy once you know the size you need. That said, there are a few things you’ll still want to keep in mind

Type of Boat

I’ve offered up suggestions for both power boats and sailboats here. The shape and function is very distinct for each. Basically, the shape of your boat is going to determine what stand works best for you. A boat that is more flat on the bottom doesn’t need the angled support of a sailboat stand and vice versa. Make sure you’re accommodating your boat and its shape as best as you can.

This is probably your biggest point of consideration. You need a quality stand to do the job right. And yeah, that seems obvious, but you do need to be careful. If you head to Amazon and search for boat stands, you’ll find the Brownell stands, for instance, but you may also find some stands from brands you’ve never heard of. And many of these stands are not specifically boat stands. Some are pipe stands or just general jack stands for work tables, trailers, cars and so on. These all could potentially work but you may be taking a risk with each one. Check the reviews if you’re looking to buy an off-brand stand not specifically designed for boats and see if anyone has ever used it for a boat and had a good experience.

That said, cheaper stands may also have poor welds and unreliable construction. If you see in any reviews that the head snapped off a stand or anything similar, you may want to reconsider. If your boat is heavy enough, you don’t want to risk a potentially bad weld to hold it.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to remember with boat stands is proper use. They don’t hold the weight of your boat, they just support it and keep it steady. Make sure they’re placed every 8 to 10 feet along the hull and make sure they’re secured with chains. As always, stay safe and have fun.

Sailboat Stands

HOSTAR...THE ORIGINAL STACKABLE SAILBOAT STANDS Setting a new standard for savings in boat yards everywhere. Now, get more from your valuable yard space. One thing about boatyards... there's never enough space. That's why more and more yard owners are switching to stackable boat stands from HOSTAR . Stackable boat stands let you store more boats by eliminating you reliance on costly, cumbersome cradles. Then when boats are in the water, you simply stack the stands out of the way. HOSTAR Boat stands are constructed of long-lasting steel, the latest in corrosion-resistant screws and handles, and hull-protecting wood pads. And since they're easy to use, you save on time and labor costs bringing boats in or out of storage. Rugged construction stands up to years of tough work.

• Tripod design maximizes stand strength, ensures stability on uneven yard surfaces.
• Continuous base prevents legs from spreading...helps prevent sinking into gravel or asphalt paving.
• Heavy-duty angle iron construction won't twist or bend.
• Choice of durable painted finish, or tough hot-dipped galvanizing for years of maintenance-free use.
• New! Lightweight, zinc-coated screw with handle (rated at 12,500 lbs.) for little maintenance, easier handling and longer life.
• 12"x12" finished marine-grade plywood pads protect hull without slipping.
• Choice of swivel pad, allowing you to set pad angle for any hull size and shape, or V-head for bow.
• Key slot in pad bracket simplifies safety chain attachment.
• 2 stands needed for every 8-10 feet of boat length, plus 1 stand with V-pad under bow.
• Each pair of sailboat stands should be connected with 3/16" safety chain.
• Use blocking under keel. Specify swivel or V-head. Additional screw pad assemblies available.
• Use blocking fore and aft to support all weight of boat on keel.
• Use a pair of stands for each 8 feet of boat length and 1 stand with V-pad under bow - minimum 5 stands per boat.
• Use safety chain on all sailboat stands. Run chain under hull starboard to port and bolt to pads. Use 3/16" galvanized chain; 5/16" bolts.
• Place stands with point of triangle formed by two long sides facing toward center of boat, with adjusting screws as perpendicular to hull as possible.
• Place stands so pads reach just below or at waterline.
• If ground is soft, use suitable dunnage under stands in order to get full contact.
• Use extra stands for fin keel sailboats, in windy areas or if mast is up.
• To position against hull, hold the screw with one hand, raise screw with pad to boat hull, spin the wing nut with other hand, continuing to tighten until desired tension is realized.
• Boat stands are to be used as stabilizers. NEVER use boat stands as sole support of boat (without blocking keel).
• The person placing, moving, or adjusting the boat stands must be authorized and experienced.
• If it is necessary to remove a boat stand from under a boat, place another stand beside it first.
• Make sure that the stands are firmly positioned on the ground.
• Use dunnage under stands if the ground is soft.
• Do NOT place blocks or other material on top of stands to make them higher.
• Never allow anything (such as a boat cover) to be tied to the stands.
• Replace badly rusted or damaged stands.

Ted Pinelli

I need to purchase jack stands for winter storage on the hard, Does anyone know what size I will need. our 310 has a wing keel. Thanks Ted Pinelli  

Here is what I ordered, but the yard couldn't use the keel stand and used blocks instead. SAIL BOAT STANDS Length: 25' - 34.5' Beam: 132" - 240" Draft: 42" - 53" Displacement: 10001 lbs. - 20001 lbs. Parts List 6 X SBS-2 SM Sailboat Stand SBS-2 - 48"-65"/122cm-165cm range 1 X SBS-2V SM Sailboat Stand - V-Top SBS-2V - 48"-65"/122cm-165cm range 2 X K-4 SM Keel Stand K-4 (16"-24"/40cm-61cm range) 3 X CHAIN12 SM Hot Dip Safety Chain - 3/16" x 12' (.9cm x 365cm) I got them from here: http://www.scaffoldmart.com/ If you can get a bunch of people to order at the same time you can get a discount on bulk shipping.  

Thanks for the info  

I guess I forgot to ask if you have a standard keel or a wing keel. This may make a difference Thanks Ted Pinelli

I now find myself in the same situation: in need of jackstands for the Catalina 310 I just bought. @SawyerCurt - Defender has a tool to automatically tell you which jackstands to buy based on size of boat, and it tells me to get Brownell SB-1's which have a range from 64" to 79". If the Brownell's and the ScaffoldMart's are measured from the same place (the ground, I would expect), then they over lap by just 1 inch (your post says they range from 48" to 65"). This worries me, as I don't want to get the wrong size. Have you measured yours and do they really only go up to 65"?

No, I've joined a yacht club where the members do all their own work - on their own boats and also on the club (saves LOTS of money), and they require each member to have his/her own jackstands. I like the idea of (sturdy!) used jackstands - is there a marketplace for those? But I still need to know what size to get. I actually called Catalina today and they suggested that I ask the yacht club!

Ya, that's probably the difference. I also have a wing keel (their tool doesn't ask for type of keel but does ask for the draft), so your height poppets will clearly work for me. Thanks for the info and especially the picture.  

MAKE SURE that the hauler KNOWS that the keel is winged... I've witnessed what that lack of knowledge can do....  

A lot depends on how your boat is hauled. If a Travel Lift is used, the boat can be set down on 12" blocks under the keel, and you don't need the tallest stands. If a Brownell trailer is used, the keel of your boat must sit on top of the trailer, because of your wing keel, so you need at least 24" or so of blocks under your keel, and the tallest stands are needed. My club uses the Brownell trailer, and I now have a nice set of Brownell galvanized stands for my wing keeled C310. I used to have a smaller set of painted steel stands I bought used from a local salvage yard, but they sat too far under the hull, and the salt water covering the stands at extra high tides ate away the steel.  

Not to hyjack the thread, but the positioning of the aft stands has been an issue for me. The yard monkeys tend to put the rear stands too far under the hull which causes the fiber glass to buckle in. has anyone else had this issue?

Tom J said: Yes. I occasionally had oil canning of the hull, usually when the aft stands were placed too far forward. After checking the C310 manual, I realized there is a strongpoint near the stern that will support the stands without oil canning. If I remember correctly, the strongpoint is located about 1' forward of the stern cleats. Actually, the location for all the stands is shown in the manual. The mid point and forward stands are easy to place, since they go under the sling indicators. Fortunately, I had no permanent damage from the oil canning of the hull. As a side issue, the stands should not be under the hull too far. The keel supports the weight, and the stands keep the boat from tipping. With the stands higher up on the side of the hull, and a chain between the pairs of stands, the boat will be secure. Click to expand

marchem said: Tom, which manual has the diagram showing jack stand locations? I just looked through the ones I've got and there's nothing in them. Click to expand

Check out Moscow’s NEW electric river trams (PHOTOS)

Water transportation has become another sector for the eco-friendly improvements the Moscow government is implementing. And it means business. On July 15, 2021, on the dock of Moscow’s ‘Zaryadye’ park, mayor Sergey Sobyanin was shown the first model of the upcoming river cruise boat.

The model of the electrical boat with panoramic windows measures 22 meters in length. The river tram - as Muscovites call them - has a passenger capacity of 42, including two disabled seats. The trams will also get cutting edge info panels, USB docking stations, Wi-Fi, spaces for scooters and bicycles, as well as chairs and desks for working on the go. The boats will be available all year round, according to ‘Mosgortrans’, the regional transport agency. 

Passengers will be able to pay with their ‘Troika’ public transport card, credit cards or bank cards. 

The main clientele targeted are people living in Moscow’s river districts - the upcoming trams will shorten their travel time in comparison to buses and other transportation by five times, Mosgortrans stated. 

As the river trams are being rolled out, Moscow docks will also see mini-stations, some of which will also be outfitted with charging docks for speed-charging the boats.  

Moscow is set to announce the start of the tender for construction and supply in September 2021. The first trams are scheduled to launch in June 2022 on two routes - from Kievskaya Station, through Moscow City, into Fili; and from ZIL to Pechatniki. 

“Two full-scale routes will be created in 2022-2023, serviced by 20 river trams and a number of river stations. We’ll continue to develop them further if they prove to be popular with the citizens,” the Moscow mayor said .

Moscow River

Moskva river has the form of a snake and is the main waterway of Moscow, consisting of a cascade of reservoirs. Within the city, Moskva river is 80 km long, 120 m - 200 m wide and up to 14 m deep. The narrowest part of the river is the Kremlin area in the city center, and the most extensive is around the Luzhniki Stadium in the south. 

Bridges in Moscow

Undoubtedly, bridges and embankments are among the most scenic spots and main attractions of Moscow. Plus, they are so romantic.

• Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge –  Great Stone Bridge –  is the main bridge of Moscow . The first stone bridge was constructed here in the 17th century.
• Patriarshy Bridge  is one of the youngest pedestrian bridges, built in 2004. The bridge connects the iconic Christ the Saviour Cathedral with funky Bersenevskaya embankment, extremely popular place among locals for its trendy art galleries, cafes and panoramic views. Patriarshy Bridge used to be a shooting location for ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's New Year speech to the nation.
• Borodinsky Bridge,  erected in honor of the 100th anniversary of the glorious victory in the Battle of Borodino (which every Russian kid knows about), a fierce legendary battle during the Russo-French war of 1812.
• Bagration Bridge  one of the  pedestrian bridges with most picturesque views of the Moskva River with its numerous upper-level observation platforms. The bridge was erected to celebrate the 850th anniversary of Moscow city in 1997.
• Krymsky Bridge  used to be in Top 5 Europe’s longest bridges some 100 years ago. The bridge got its name after the ancient Krymsky ford which Crimean Tartars used to invade Moscow in the 16 th  century.

Embankments of Moscow

Moscow river boats 37 embankments, the most popular being Kremlevskaya, Sofiyskaya, Pushkinskaya, Vorobyovskaya and Kolomenskaya.

You can get the most spectacular views of the Kremlin from  Kremlevskaya and Sofiyskaya embankments.

• Pushkinkaya embankment  is the most romantic in Moscow. It meanders along Gorky Park and Neskuchnyi garden and is rich for all kinds of entertainment as well as cozy nooks, including Olivkovy beach, the famous Zeleny theater as well as a pier for river cruisers.
• Vorobyevskaya embankment  is part of Sparrow Hills nature reserve. This place opens a beautiful panorama of the river and city from the observation deck and is considered to be the place for taking serious decisions in life.
• Embankment in Kolomenskoye  Museum-Reserve has a special charm due to its peculiar geographical relief. The boat trip around Kolomenskoye would be the most peaceful in your life.
• Taras Shevchenko embankment  is popular among photographers for its modern Moscow City skyscrapers. Highly recommended for your night boat trip.
• Embankments of Moscow are the pride of the capital. A distinctive feature of each of the promenades is its architecture and beautiful views. In addition, almost all the embankments of Moscow have a rich history and a lot of notable buildings.

Different epochs

Taking a walk along the Moskva River by boat, you will witness the architecture of Moscow from different eras and styles. Archaeological studies indicate that already in the XI century there stood a fortified settlement on Borovitsky hill, which is now called the Kremlin. Little fortress could not accommodate all the residents of the rapidly growing city, and the Grand Duke ordered the construction of a new Kremlin, larger than the former.

Boat trip around Kolomenskoe Park

Moscow river boat trip starts from the pier Klenovy (Maple) Boulevard and provides reat views of Nicholas Perervinsky monastery.

Nicholas Perervinsky monastery was founded at the time of the Battle of Kulikov (1380). The monastery, got its name from the surrounding area – “Pererva”, which can be translated like “tear off” and because of the location –  here it abruptly changed its course, turning to Kolomna, standing on the opposite bank.

Nowadays Kolomenskoye is State Art, Historical, Architectural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve, which doors are open to everyone who wants to get in touch with the ancient history of Russia.

Take a break from the big city hustle in the shady parks and gardens of the Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve. Don’t miss a wonderful Church of the Ascension and Tsar Alexey’s Palace in Kolomenskoye!

Monasteries and temples

• Novospassky Monastery
• Founded in the 13th century on the site where now is located the Danilovsky monastery. After a few decades, in 1330, Ivan Kalita moved the monastery onto the Borovitskii hill of the Kremlin. However, in the 15th century, Spassky Monastery again moved, this time to a more spacious place on Krasnoholmskaya waterfront.
• Church of St. Nicholas in Zayaitskom
• Erected in the middle of the XVIII century in baroque style. The building survived after the 1812 fire, but the utensils were destoyed. Parishioners collected donations and restored the temple on their own. In Soviet times, it was closed and re-opened only in 1992.
• Cathedral of Christ the Savior
• The church was originally erected in honor of the victory over Napoleon and was being under construction for long 44 years. Notoriously demolished in 1937 to be a giant swimming pool under open sky. The current building was constructed in 1990s. It is the tallest and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world.
• The temple was built in 1679-82, during the reign of Tsar Fedor Alekseevich, in late Muscovite Baroque style and can be characterized as bonfire temple. Each gable is a symbol of a heavenly fire.
• Novodevichy Convent
• The most famous concent and monastery in Moscow, presumably founded in 1524. Novodevichy’s status has always been high among other monasteries, it was in this monastery where the women of the royal blood, the wives of Tsars and local rulers of Moscow were kept in prison as nuns.
• St. Andrew’s church  (male acts as Compound Patriarch of Moscow)
• St. Andrew’s church stands right on the slopes of the Sparrow Hills, on the way down to the Moskva River, on the territory of the Nature Reserve “Sparrow Hills”. The monastery is small in size but is very cozy. It’s situated in a quiet courtyard surrounded by temples, fruit trees and flowers.
