FAQ’s – How to lift and carry the boats
How do I lift and carry the boats?
1x – On all singles there is a grap handle at the bulkhead, and an inspection port between the
slides. Using these two points offer a secure way of lifting the 1x. Carrying the 1x is very much
a personal preference. Some like to carry it on their head, and some like to cradle the boat in
their shoulder.
2-/x – It is most common to lift and carry the 2-/x ~ 5 feet from the ends of the boat. Some
prefer to have the side of the hull cradled on their arm or on their shoulder, and others rather
have the deck flat on their shoulder.
4-/x/+, 8+ - We recommend that all boats bigger than the 2-/x, are lifted by the rigger or the
sides of the boat, and not by the inspection port (see photos below). These boats are almost
exclusively carried with each rower having the gunnel opposite their rigger on their shoulder.
