This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway....

Doesn't "hanging" the boat by its beams put undo pressure on the the 8 bolts/nuts/connection points that hold the beam to the hulls? Are the hulls so light that this pressure is negligible? Seems like, over time, the threading for the beam bolts would weaken.......

Personally, I'd rather sit in a chair - rather than hang from a chin up bar <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My boat lives on the trailer and I try to reposition it a little after each use. It makes me feel better about "wearing" out the areas where the cradles are.

Just curious to see if others have this same concern about "hanging" boats for storage....
