I finally got my double stack rack made. Hooray!
Picked it up from the fabricators this morning. I may have gone a bit overboard, had it built out of 3" by 3", 1/4" wall square tubing. Feet are 3/8" plate with gussets on all four corners. Should be able to handle a double stack. I made the verticals 80" apart, and I think it should've been a bit more.
Next project will be the sail boxes. They'll going to be a "T" shape, 8ft wide at the front at an angle to follow the V on the nose of the trailer, then they'll go in between the racks, should finish out 13' long at the longest point. Also ~26" tall. I've never heard anyone say that their sail box is too big. I want to be able to store three boats worth of parts, bits, and gear.
