Yes. I assume tipping it (while upside down) onto its bow would put too much strain on too small a part of the boat? Otherwise, you could hold/prop it up and "wheel" the support under it, then ease the stern down onto the "trailer" (for want of a better word)
Keep in mind that your own footing will be dubious in the sand. Big/bulky things tend to get a mind of their own (imagine it being windy!)
Per Don Y:
Sounds to me like the path of least resistance is to just let them rot and replace as needed. The consequences of failure are seem to be zero.
I didn't think of that, that's a good point.
I wonder if it would be worth wrapping the threads with teflon tape. I know people who do that, not to prevent a leak but to lubricate the fastener and allow easy removal later.
I assume you've heard of screws? ;-)
Two 3/4" boards, screwed together become 1.5" thick, three is 2.25" and so on.
Screwing the layers together in a running bond pattern could get you any width you desired. If it must be "square" at the edges, boards ripped in half would fill the gaps.
I learned the hard way. : I wonder if it would be worth wrapping the threads with teflon tape. I know
Except that they may have failed just before you need to set the kayak
*on* them (at the start of the season) *or* just before you need to get the kayak *off* them. If the previous solutions that did NOT attach the board to the blocks were rejected, this suggests a board "falling off" would likewise not be desirable.Have something to add?
