" They providing "bury bags" or "body bags". Their race must not be covered by insurance. Does it say anything about release waivers? Is the State aware of these plans?

Dear Paddlewiser's, I've wanted a pair of stands for a while now, to make it easier maintaining and cleaning my kayak, but just haven't got around to building and or purchasing any! I'd like a stand that wouldn't take up to much room, when not in use and something strong and stable enough so I don't accidently end up knocking thus "smashing" my composite kayak to the cement floor when I happen to bump into it! Does anyone have any ideas on the making of or purchasing of a stable colapsable kayak stand? Thanks in advance!

Bill, Below is a link to a picture from R2K3 of some folding PVC based stands I saw. Hopefully it will be useful. I have seen a different style, but I can't think of where right now. http://aaron-cunningham.com/hobbies/kayaking/R2K3/Saturday/images/0143610-R2- 021-9%20(Small).jpg Aaron *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Aaron, I wasn't able to open your link but used Google to search for R2K3! Wow!!! I'm not sure if these are the stands you're talking about and I don't mean to get side tracked but some of these kayaks are something else! I think I'd like to build a woody! I have to share! http://www.fastq.com/~jrschroeder/r2k3/ Bill > http://aaron-cunningham.com/hobbies/kayaking/R2K3/Saturday/images/0143610-R2- > 021-9%20(Small).jpg PS I wasn't able to at first but added, 021-9%20(small).jpg, to your link and yes, this must be the place or close enough to it! I wasn't going to send this email but it might make some people drool! Now, who makes these stands? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Although I'm usually the first person to build something from scratch, I'd be tempted to head to your local Menards or Home Depot and pick up a pair of folding plastic sawhorses - then simply add a padded 'yoke' or saddle for the boat. They fold up flat (approx 2" thick), hold ~150 lbs each, and cost about $20 for the pair. And actually, just a flat padded top for them works pretty well - easy to roll the boat on its side.

I use a couple of folding aluminum "camp stools". They sag in the middle and allow me to roll the boat from side to side while rinsing. Cheap, portable and easy to store. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I use a variation of this, which is a couple of folding "camp tables". They are very similar to the camp stools, but the surface is twice as large.

I saw an online ad for the Talis Seahorse, and am thinking of buying it, but am concerned that it will be too unstable on the floating dock where I launch. If you launch from solid ground it might be worth a try. http://www.talic.com/seaHorse.htm Lyn [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type Image/jpeg which had a name of BackGrnd.jpg] *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
