The yacht club of which I am a member wants to create an outdoor storage system for approximately eight to ten Laser hulls. In other words, a rack. We considered storing the boats individually on dollies but that takes up too big a footprint on our pier. Of course we want to store them in a way which doesn't damage the hulls. At the same time we want them to be easy to remove from the rack in order to be placed on dollies for launching. We don't have a question about rig storage, only about hull storage.
We considered a two-wide, four high rack built from timber with carpeted bunks but that seems like it would eventually damage the hulls if the boats were stored right side up. We considered a similar rack but with the hulls upside down, but that makes it harder to remove the Lasers from the racks and place them on the dollies, without dropping them on concrete.
Anyone with ideas, diagrams, photos, experience, and /or thoughtful input -- we would appreciate your advice. Thanks!
