Whether you buy a boat new, or previously used, it’s pretty normal that you don’t get a stand with it.

The really cool looking top competitors seem to make do with rolling up a towel, placing it on the ground, then resting the boat on that. Not too comfortable with placing your new pride-and-joy down on the ground like that? You’ll want a stand !!

We’ll publish a few alternative ideas in the “Stands” category of the website for you to think about. This is a photo of a reasonably classic wooden, home built stand.

There are some other ideas around too. See the “Stands” section.
