Supports for dry winter storage DF35

[Jin]

It is recommended that the DF35 is supported at the water stays for dry winter storage. I can have a frame built to the dimensions of a trailer (a drawing has been kindly provided by the yard).
However, I do not have the actual shape of the (wooden) support blocks that touch the hull (w/ carpet). I note a step change in the hull at the water stays.
Does anyone happen to have dimensions of the wooden blocks that fit the DF35 hull at the water stays? I can then prepare these ahead of the lift out.

Secondly, what are the practices of covering the boat when outside during the winter? (tarpaulin?)
Thanks

I have a DF1000, but the shape needed is similar.
Several years ago, I replaced the blocks on my original cradle.
I used 4"x4" blocks about a foot long and rounded the tops.
I then attached some short nap carpet with integral padding.
Works great.

I hope these photos will help you. Works fine with DF1000.

Mika -
Where do we buy those rubber shapes? Do they absorb water?

[Mika Harju]

It does not absorb water. It is dock buffer and sold by a local dealer in Finland. You should find it closer
