Kayak launching and return from a ladder
For easy kayak launching and return from a ladder see item 3 at http://kayaarm.com/documentation/assembly-instructions/. The system involves bolting a KayaArm to the side of the ladder.
In addition to my earlier mention of KayaArm at www.kayaarm.com you may also want to check out KayaLeg at http://kayaarm.com/about-kayaleg/ including videos and photos.
Rope from two deck cleats fore and aft… Up and around back of ladder so that the ladder side of the boat is snug and secure and cannot sink when you stand in the kayak… Makes getting into and off chickees a breeze Trick is never to put all your weight water side of kayak
