A sea kayak, that is loaded with all the necessities of a multi day trip, is a very heavy craft.
It is all the more burdensome when it has to be manoeuvred a distance from the water level.
Most craft have toggles, fore and aft.
However, be mindful that unless they are designed as carry points and reinforced, toggles are best used as catch points with the vessel supported by the other arm under the hull.
At a recent extended camp to North Stradbroke Island, club members were faced with laden craft and a lengthy carry.
Their solution?
Soft slings .. 3 positioned under each hull and a 6 man lift.
Robyn was on hand to capture the lads in action.
