General recommendations:
Sailboat/motor sailor: LCF
Motorboat: LCM, can also be combined with LCF
- Boat stands should only be used on firm surface where surrounding conditions (like weather) never affect the stability
- Position the stands according to the boat manufacturers recommendations, normally a pair of stands for every 2,6–3,3 m
- The entire weight of the boat should be borne by the keel support, not by the stands
- The keel support should be placed depending on the weight distribution of the boat
- Use wide, large sized blocks as keel support (both in the front and back of the keel)
- Select size of stand to ensure equal adjustment for the thread in both directions
- Safety strap should always be used to secure the stands to each other
- Never tie anything to the stands (like cover). In heavy wind the stands might be pulled away
Variant of steel stand is determined by bottom shape and keel support. LCM is used for flat bottom shape. LCF is used for all other bottom types.
The number of stands is determined by weight, length, and draft of the boat. An extra pair of stands should be used on a stern heavy (or rigged) boat.
Size of stand is determined by: Draft + height of keel support – approximately 0,25 m = height of stand
If in doubt – consult the manufacturer.
