Bertram Blocking

[Harry Woods]

I have owned three Bertram's over the last thirty years and have winter stored in a half-dozen yards. I have seen blocking on the keel with jack stands on each side and bow block with the stern hung by the chines. What is the method of choice?

[In Memory Walter K]

Mine has always been 2-3 blocks on the keel, one each on the stern corner chines and either jack stands or wooden side supports midships. Walter

I usually go with 2 sets of blocks for the keel, 2 jackstands on the
transom corners and 2 jackstands on either side at midship.

correct blocking puts all the weight on the keel, the stands are just there for stability.

3 sets of keel blocks is a good idea

stands/blocks aft by chines, stands/blocks by chines about midship for stability
