Beach legs

[alaskaflyfish]

Does anyone use beach legs to dry the Vega out at low tide? I think this might be a good alternative to getting hauled out for zincs and bottom scrubbing. The water up here is incredibly cold so diving is not possible without a drysuit. Anyone have pictures or examples of leg length and attach points?

I dry out on legs quite often. I did buy purpose build Aluminium legs
though I know some have made there own wooden legs.

Mine are attached through the hull just aft the forward bulkhead.

As long as the ground is suitable there is no problem. I must admit that
the first few times I dried out I was imagining the worst! However I have
never fallen over or even been close.

Thanks for the link. This is what I'm thinking of doing and the design of Atom's is very clever.
