[Rhodes22-list] shoring suggestions

[Peter Thorn]

The shoring support maker suggests chaining the pairs together, so they

Phoenix is getting ready for fairing, then a new bottom.  The hard part,
scraping and sanding to gelcoat, is behind us.  It will be interesting
backing the trailer back under.  :-)
