Hello all,
I have a question on deck down storage of Lasers. I have read that the gunnels are the strongest part of the boat. When I first bought my boat I had it on bunks awaiting the arrival of my new trailer. While the boat was sitting deck down it was really resting on the crest of the fore deck not really the gunnels.
For those of you who store your Lasers deck down how do you orient your bunks? Do you place them perpendicular to the boat centerline and in what location? Would there be any bennefit to placing the boards parallel to the centerline so as to maximize gunnel support? (see the enclosed picture)
Thanks!
