Next message: trawlerphil: "Re: T&T: Furuno NavNet vs Nobeltec Glassbridge (Admiral)"
On the subject of kayaks, I have had kayaks off and on since the late
sixties in various shapes, sizes and materials. My wife and I now own
two 17 foot fiberglass sea kayaks and I just purchased a Necky Sky 8
foot plastic kayak for short trips with our trawler while at anchor. Our
main problem getting in and out of these kayaks on to our swim grid on
our 42 foot Monk trawler. The swim grid is 17 inches off the water and
my wife has bad knees so we need some sort of bar or brace that we can
attach to the teak swim grid to lift ourselves out of (and into) the
kayaks. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I was wondering if anyone had
any devices or ideas that work for them. PassageMaker recently had a
brief article about a boat with brace in the shape of an inverted "L"
that looked interesting but the details were sketchy and not the focus
of the article. I'm hoping that someone has perfected a device that
works well for them (i.e. first hand experience). Thanks in advance for
your input.
Murray
