Didn't like the idea of a jack pad pressing against a thin hull anywhere. Tom B On Sun, Apr 20, 2014 at 9:05 AM, Kearns, Kevin P <kkearns@pitt.edu> wrote:
All,
Next week I'm putting my M15 on jack stands for a few days to touch up the bottom paint. Does the bottom of the keel need to be supported on a block while on the jack stands? The marina that is helping me caters to power boats, not sailors so they will not likely be much help.
Thanks, Kevin
