Access to hull for anti-fouling paint application

Any smart tricks for accessing the hull for painting while still on the trailer? I'm trying to picture some way of temporarily shoring up either side...thanks!

DAve,
I just jacked her up along the centre-line and pulled the pads off the trailer. The boat is so light it doesn't take much to support her while you paint.

Thanks Bill! How did you reconcile the flat top of the jack with the v-shaped bottom of the boat?

I just blocked her up with a big 2 1/2" x 6" fir with a slight notch and bunch of padding. Didn't take much. It will be a lot trickier rolling the hull I just bought to do the re-core. Will be a perfect time to fair and prepare the hull for the new gasket and all.
Have fun
