So this may be a silly question but here it goes. I just received my Compass and built a pvc rack for storage of 3 kayaks. I understand that the way to store the Compass is upside down. The rack is in my garage. I am trying to figure out how to flip the kayak and then lift and drag it to the first rail of the rack with out scratching the top of the kayak. I suppose that I could throw a couple of blankets down and slide it on the blankets but just wondered if anyone had found and easier way. I am a 5'3", 61 year old woman so I am looking to save my already poor back. |

I have the SAME issue and I am actually the same height and age as you! I need to know what is best for daily removal from the lake to shore and how to store it overnight every day at lakeside? I was told that there is a forum on building a PVC rail system for manually pulling the kayak out of the water onto which would then keep the underside suspended and not resting on the keel? I would like to find this info to be able to build it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just purchased my Hobie Outback in May 2021. |

Can you load it upside down on your scupper cart when unloading? If so, it’ll already be turned and can pull it right beside your rack |
