A boat storage facility for storing sail and power boats (10) is shown. The storage facility includes a supporting structure in the form of a building (11). Within the building (11) are two fixed columns (17, 18) and two movable columns (20). One of the fixed columns (17) is located adjacent to one of the pair (14) of sidewalls of the building (11), while the second fixed column (18) is located adjacent to the other of the pair (14) of sidewalls. The two movable columns (20) are disposed between the two fixed columns (17, 18) and are horizontally movable in the direction of arrow (A) therebetween. Each movable column (20) includes a central, upwardly extending frame (21), while all columns (17, 18 & 20), include a plurality of pairs (22) of laterally outwardly extending, substantially horizontal support arms (23) for supporting a boat (10). In an alternative embodiment, the storage facility does not have a building constructed therearound and the supporting structure can be in the form of substantially horizontal floor located at elevated from or recessed into adjacent surrounding ground by some distance. For example, this can include an asphalt or concrete pad or even a wharf or dock located adjacent a body of water.
