I now have the XL boat stand in stock for models upto about 48" The same as the medium just bigger!

Super stand Mike. That would look good on a display shelf. (With a boat on it of course).😊

Hi Michael,

Great job on the boat stand!
It looks very good!

Cheers, Ed

Great job, I think it looks better than the adjustable one's on ebay.
I prefer to use this type of stand, but most of mine are wood and quite hefty.
I think I'll try making something similar myself.
Thanks for sharing your excellent stand.
Cheers Colin.

Very professional looking.
You have done a cracking job.
Well done.

Anybody taken up the challenge? heres my interpretation of the boat stand, I had a surplus of perspex laying around for years without a purpose. it works well and gives access to the sides of the boat

This is the stand of my 10gbp special from Lidl - sails well - not a bad radio for for 27mhz............
Fairly easy to duplicate in wood if you wanted to - much heavier base would keep it stable........

Glad I didn't turn out then, because when I got up this morning, I did wonder what had happened to last night's forecast. However, I shouldn't have worried, it soon asserted itself, though the rain was nothing like the intensity of yesterday.

Nerys

Ken, did you go to the lake this morning? It was late before I was up and the sun was almost shining and there wasn't a lot of wind, so I wondered what it was like at the Knap and what had happened to the forecast I'd heard. However,listening to the news just now, realised how bad it had been in other places in the south.

Nerys

Hi Ken, Thanks for the sympathy, Seeing the weather forecast for heavy rain and strong gales I didn't think much of our chances of sailing on Saturday so I feel justified in saying that I'm not feeling up to it this week. Alice and I will have to miss next week as well, as we are going to the Warwick show. See you sometime soon.

Cheers, Nerys

Thanks for the good wishes Doug and Marky, I'm afraid this is an ongoing situation I have to put up with.

The seller, presumably designer of the stand has told us that it is designed for smaller power boats, so I think we should bide by his advice. I think I might buy one though, it could come in useful.

Nerys

Not a bad price but the base board is not included. They look good though.😊

"beware of copyrights!"

If you are worried about it being copied then why put it on a site were members share information, techniques and ideas.?

Martin555.

Hmmm!
Can it be that someone is using our site for free advertising?😠

beware of copyrights!

sorry, they are designed for smaller powered models.

Get well soon Nerys ,you could build up the adjustable parts of the stand with wooden blocks to accommodate the keel .
Cheers Marky

Very very sorry to hear that Nerys.
Anything we can do to cheer you up just SHOUT!
Get well soon (and that's an Order Lieutenant !!!!)
All the best Nerys, and regards to Alice (Controller Fleet Construction)
Cheers, Doug 😎

Some of my boats, principally ones I've bought in, ready made, have fixed quite long fin keels. e.g. Dragonforce 65 and Mickey Finn The barge I'm working on at the moment has a detachable keel, so if I chose to scale up the stand, that would work.

Sorry about the tummy bug, my problems have necessitated spending each day this week in hospital, a minor operation and another to come in a week or two. I'm not happy.

Cheers Nerys

"No Doug, not a sore bum, but I've had a bad week medically and other bits are sore. "
My commiserations Nerys. Trust all is now well? Or at least better!
Picked up a 'tummy' bug meself, had to stay within quick range of the heads☹️
Most distracting!!
Get well soon🤞
Cheers, Doug 😎

Fit telescopic legs Nerys 😎
Scan and scale!
Alternative: make fin keel detachable and provide stowage slots in the stand?

Cheers, FLEET 😎

I can see that the stand is to some extent adjustable for height, but is it enough to accommodate a fin keel, after cutting slot.

Cheers, Nerys

No Doug, not a sore bum, but I've had a bad week medically and other bits are sore.

Cheers, Nerys

" The flat bottom fits ..."
Oh dear 😮 Did you miss the chair again Nerys?
Hope we're not back to the sore bum syndrome🤔
😎

Just a question of scale Lieutenant! 😎

Just checked this stand out on Ebay and they say it is suitable for boats up to 28" long, vee or flat bottom. My last two projects were 30" long Thames Barges and the current is 42". The flat bottom fits, but I'm afraid the length is a bit out. Must admit, it looks good for many models and I'd certainly buy one if I was building a suitable boat.

Cheers, Nerys

Guten Appetit Ken 😋

Think I'll make a wee drawing and see if my friendly laser cutter chappy can knock me out some parts .bit cheeky but "imitation is the best form of flattery".

Welcome Aboard Merys 😊
You made Lieutenant damn quick! 😮😁
Apropos Boat Stand-
Buy one,
Scan or trace the parts,
Scale to suit😉.
(Scanning is of course better for scaling!)
Bingo 😊
Cheers, 😎

Looks good, but does it go high enough for a sailing boat with fin keel?

Merys

I build decent stands but that stand is interesting. Thanks for posting.
