: Hi All,
: A while back Ross lent me the jig for making his version of cold molded ash
: cradles to fit Thule racks. It worked out great, I made four cradles so I
: now can carry four boats. Two on edge and one in the standard Thule
: saddles. I would gladly pass the jig on to anyone else that may want to
: make a set. Just send me an e-mail with the address and I'll ship it out.

I made a jig last winter for making cradles for a hard chine Chessapeake 18. If anyone is interested in a similar swap, maybe I could arrange it. They do work marvelous and Ross's webpage was the initial design though.

Thanks Ross!
