Since most of my sailing is solo, I am looking for a way to avoid dragging the Prindle on and off the beach each time. I have an aluminum cantilever type boat lift for a small PWC that I envision customizing and am looking for help.

Immediate problems:

The vertical supports that the winch attach to are the same width of the hulls so interference there.

The bunks and adjacent supports are too narrow for the hulls and don't provide any of the lift that I need.

Popeyez has a great set of plans to custom make a bunk out of PVC but I am trying to use what I have. Has anyone found a successful way to rearrange a standard lift to work for their cat?

if you want to store your cat off the beach all you need is some metal pipe and a couple feet of pvc to fit over the aluminum. The racks look like 2 "H"s. The cross bar is a couple of inches wider than the boat and the vertical posts should stick about 4 feet into the bottom and be tall enough so the the boat is sitting about a foor higher than the largest waves. Then screw a large earth anchor into the bottom infront of the windward rack, and attatch a tow strap between the front of the tramp and the screw anchor to prevent it from taking off during a storm. A picture of the rack is pictured in the link. The un-rigged hobie is sitting on one of them. http://www.face...d=1367010064
