Does anyone have a diagram for a cradle for the wing keel boat? I actually have the original manual for my boat, but it only includes the diagram for the full keel boat. Any help is appreciated.
Don,
Where do live? I bought my Catalina 36 wing keel in Chicago and it had no cradle.
Back in Toronto, I ordered a cradle from the local major cradle supplier and they delivered it with no questions asked and they even offered two optional widths (depends on how your boat is managed/stored in the winter).
Unfortunately my cradle is folded and stacked for the summer with 125+ other cradles at our club or I could measure it for you.

Donwinchell it would help if you added a signature line so we could tell what model of boat you have. This diagram was in the manual for a MK 1. Table in drawing shows dimensions for both full and fin keel

Std rig; wing keel
M35A Oberdorfer conversion
I have been using jack stands 3 winters. Three pairs for my c36 2000 mk 2. One pair forward of keel, one pair immediately back, third pair about even with prop. Nice to move around for painting, What is critical is weight of boat rests on wing keel, and stands are cross linked with 3/4" chain. Probably cheaper to buy used, and if necessary cut down if too large.
This is the cradle I had designed back in 2009 for our 1999 Catalina 36, wing keel. I had a steel supplier cut the pieces on the list and delivered to the boatyard. Another person fabricated (welded) the cradle using the drawing. I ordered 6 adjustable pads.
2) Steel Square Tubing
1-7/8 x 1-7/8 x 11 (.120 wall) 2 - pieces – 20’ long
x 12 (.109 wall)
Or precut to
2 pieces – 96” long (I left off the cross bracing on both ends
of the drawing)
2 pieces – 43” long
2 pieces – 38” long
2 pieces – 31” long
3) Angle
L2 x 2 x 1/8 3 – pieces – 20’ long
Or precut to
8 pieces – 42” long
4 pieces – 31” long
