Forward cradle & pivot detail. Here you see the completed cradle complete with the alloy shaped bracket mounted to the glass cradle. A large stainless pad eye is located on both the inboard & outboard sides to serve as tiedown points. Carpet still needs trimming a bit. The pivot is a rod end (just like a car tierod end), allowing the cradle to not only rotate inboard/outboard, but to also twist sideways. We wanted the hull to be parallel to the frame when tilted, when at the max width allowable. So we made the geometery of the front & rear cradle pivots such that this occurs despite the keel line up-sweep towards the transom. The white line is used to stablize the winch post during the initial lifting of the hull. Once hull is fully tilted, the forebeam comes to rest against a wooden shaped chock, and snugs firmly into place. At this angle, the winch post tilts slightly inboard and the white line goes completely slack...can be removed for travelling or just lashed out the way.
