Known as the company that makes the highest quality boat stands on the market, Brownell Boat Stands & Equipment Company was started in 1954 by David “Fred” Brownell.  Not only did Fred revolutionize the way that boats were stored, he also created the unique stacking and nesting design that allows them to be neatly stored when not in use thereby taking up minimal space. Today it is possible to see the eye-catching blue and orange products of Brownell Boat Stands at professional boat yards and marinas all over the world.

Peter Kavanaugh purchased the company from Linda Brownell, daughter of the founder, in 2009.  Since that time, Peter and his team have:

• Solidified Brownell’s manufacturing gold standard by adhering to the Brownell Seven Standards of Quality
• Created the industry standard in customer service
• Developed the Brownell Safety Training Program so that each and every user knows exactly how to safely block, support, and store all types of boats
