One reason that I don't have a boat ~ despite enjoying boating on occasions ~ is that they're such a dumb-ass shape when it comes to storage. Astonishing to think that the first of IKEA's products was a coffee-table with removable legs, following a random Swede's efforts to fit one in the car.
Keen follower's of the blog (I know he'll be tuning in today) will know that we've just completed (actually I've just completed) a second build to replace the test-type for the time being, so that the question of where to put the first has raised its ugly head.
Accordingly here's a fix to hang it from the rafters and the first step is a fish-hook at the prow nearest the forward end of each spar. I choose the front end as these babies are heaviest at the rear and are most easily manoeuvred like a builder's wheel-barrow.
The next step is to measure the distance between suitable rafters in the garage and set a further pair of hangers thereabouts. I've used repurposed angle brackets here that I've drilled out to suit, but 'screw-eyes' are a quicker alternative. There was a kid in our school we called 'screw-eyes', but that's not what we're talking here.
