What to do with your cradle after launch…
Cradle Storage from Commercial Launch Area

- Identify the bow & stern and mark your name and boat name on the cradle.
- Folding Cradles – fold your cradle and tie the arms to enable safe and secure storage. Any unfolded cradle will be folded by storage crews and the owners charged for same, save yourself this charge by doing your own.
- Non-Folding Cradles – tie any unsecured parts to the cradle
- Ensure that all loose materials around your cradle location are picked up and removed.
