Winter Storage Sling or Block-1992 CMY 43
Spec weight claims 28,000 pound weight.
Question???
I have the option of winter storage on slings within covered storage or blocked up on land.
Which method is recommended?
My concern with slings is perhaps not having proper support evenly distributed over the winter lay up.
I know there are recommended location for slings identified which I assume is good for the crane lift but is it acceptable for long term storage?

Re: Winter Storage Sling or Block-1992 CMY 43
My boats had always been on stands until last winter on slings and would prefer the slings. I’m not an engineer but felt that the load appeared to be distributed more evenly. My 410 has a wet weight of 31,000lbs and had 4 straps, two on the sling marks and two in between those.

Yes, Queens Cove. They were great, just a little pricey for me.
