Question about storing Kayak
I'm going to be picking up an OK T13 in the next moth or so and I have ran into my next temporary roadblock. The house we are currently in has no real good spots to store the Yak! Ugh! Anyways, I have come to a solution. I am going to build an outdoor shed / tent, a bit longer than the Yak on the side of the house. There is shade from the sun and a 8 foot wall next to it. I have planned it out and believe it will work fine. I am concerned with keeping it outdoors, but the temp stays pretty even in San Pedro, and quick access to the yak will be nice since I live a few blocks from Cabrillo.
As for storing the yak, should I build a separate elevated rack and slide the yak on to it? Deck side down or Keel side? Would it be okay to leave the yak on it's rolling cart and prop the front on a stand? That would be ideal for quick access since i could just walk her down to the beach. If that option is feasible, would a scupper cart be better than cradle w/ straps? I'm sorry I have so many questions but I am trying to limit surprises. Plus I may be a little over excited to be getting a yak! Thanks! Dan |
