Does anybody know what shape hull cradle would fit these hulls? Would it be like a Hobie 18 or like a Nacra 20?

The 580 is a modernized 5.8. The hulls are the same, just wider beam, retractable centerboard, and the newer style rudder system.
Did you get your hands on one?

Looks like an old 5.8 or 6.0 bottom to me.
Hobie 20 cradles would probably work.

John...a customer of mine just bought one, it was shipped from overseas. He's wanting to buy some cradles from me and I trying to figure out which one to sell him.
Ron do you think H-18 cradles would work?

Cradles for the 5.8 should do the trick...
I saw one of these at the factory years ago... It is a sweet boat, and modern 5.8..... I wanted one, but was not willing to spend $10K plus.

Kenny, if you have a H18 cradle made up, take it down to the club and see how it fits on a 5.8, 6.0 or Hobie 20. I know you've got H20's down there. Check the fat part of the hull under the main beam.
