Lifting with a Jib spreader

I am looking for a solution to lift my wave out from the water to on top of my floating dock. The floating dock is 20 inches above the water, and I am 62 years old, with not the greatest back, so lifting is an issue.

Two questions, does anybody know of a solution to help me lift my wave out of the water from 20 inches from where you are standing. I am in a high traffic area along the coast of South Carolina. I have dock blocks for my motor boat but to add a dock block section for my hobie wave, would cost $4800, yikes. Any ideas?

A second possible solution, I don't have a jib for the wave but might consider it. Would a jib spreader, which is in a great location (top of the hulls) for lifting, be strong enough to lift the boat from the water to the floating dock? Not just once, but would be for each time I take the wave out on the water.

Any automotive store will sell a set of winch-straps for about $30.
Adapt those, and attach the straps around the front of the hulls as your lifting mechanism.
One part might have to attach to the front cross beam to prevent the strap from sliding off.
Hope this is useful.

Thanks John, looking at that now. Did a quick search on Amazon, I think I can find a solution there. Many thanks

Maybe add a slanted ramp to the edge of your dock, and a small hand winch on the dock. Then winch the boat up onto the dock?

In answer to your question about the feasibility of pulling with the jib spreader, I wouldn’t recommend it. I initially tried to use it to pull my Wave up onto our beach but it flexes too much. Instead I use a heavy duty line wrapped around the front crossbar, tied at the port and starboard ends. To facilitate the action of pulling it up on the beach I installed a set of rollers on a 8 x 6 x 1 plank of wood, with the rollers spaced to match the Wave’s “keels”. If the beach isn’t too steep it’s a one person job. Otherwise, two (one pulling and the other pushing from the rear crossbar. I hope this helps!
