I built 2 hull stands that can take an axle and wheels to move my Tiki 26.  They work equally as well when moving a single hull although the weight of the fully rigged boat means care and manpower is…Continue

The V-angle is taken from the shape of the bulkhead just forward of the main hatch.  They are constructed of 15mm plywood both screwed and epoxy filleted.  They take a 1 inch steel axle that…See More
