Abstract: A watercraft beaching device 10 includes one or more collapsible upright supports 11 and 12 which hold a pair cushioned hull engagement surfaces 13 in spaced apart relationship. Advantageously, hull engagement surfaces 13 are elongated to engage more than a single point or area along on side of the hull of watercraft 1 to prevent watercraft 1 from pivoting about the mooring point on the shoreline. Additionally, supports 11 and 12 are configured to hold hull engagement surfaces 13 a sufficient distance above the shoreline to insure that the hull does not come into contact with the aforementioned abrasive agents or shoreline.

Abstract: A watercraft beaching device which includes a base member and a pair of upright supports attached to the base member and positioned in spaced apart relationship. Each upright may also include a cushioned hull engagement surface. Advantageously, the hull engagement surfaces are elongated to engage more than a single point along the side of the boat hull to prevent the watercraft from pivoting about the beaching device on the shoreline and yet still require a relatively small area of surface contact with the hull of the watercraft. The upright supports are configured to hold the hull of the craft such that the keel of the craft does not come into contact with the base member of the watercraft beaching device or shoreline thereby eliminating abrasive wear to the keel of the craft while moored using the watercraft beaching device of the present invention.
