I have to say, as a Laser owner, I would not want my boat stacked as it would make is less accessible should I wish to go for a sail if there is a nice day in the week.

Stacking is fine for club boats and rotomould/injection moulded but not GRP (in my opinion).

I know a few Topper squaddies who would not want their boats stacked and resting on the gunwhales when in storage too.

Oh right, tell that to any laser sailor. Their boat had been stacked on its end for months before they even got hold of it!

Slightly different....would you want you boat being moved by others so they can get theirs out? Whois liable if they damage it whilst doing so? 

At least that is a factory environment where they will show some modicum of care when they move things around.

one assumes that the price for stacked berth for a regular laser sailor would be cheaper than one for a combi-trailered stratos that sits there until the family vacation to Brittany demands its presence...

I want the dinghy park to be inside!

Keep the boats rigged and assuming people shut the door, less chance of storm damage, and you wouldnt need to tie your boat down.

Time to build a barn!

Not sure I'd want to sail into the wind shadow...
