Sailing is a great outdoor sport which the whole family can enjoy together. In fact if you have a boat the best way to enjoy a holiday is by taking it out to sail. An invaluable equipment for transporting your boat to the sea or lake is a rear boat loader. All boat loader companies have rear boat loaders and depending on your budget and requirement you can choose a loader that is right for you.

These devices are surprisingly easy to assemble and require just two people to be set up. All you have to do is place your boat or canoe at the back of the car and attach it with carabineers. Next you need to press a button on the winch controller and the boat is automatically lifted to the top of your vehicle on the winch lines.

The boat is then turned around and the bow and transom tied down automatically. If you thought this was easy, wait till you hear about the off-loading procedure. Just drive up close to the water and use the ‘unload’ button to watch your boat being placed in the upright position on the water surface and get ready to sail away!

A rear boat loader can usually lift and load boats up to 400 pounds weight and up to 61 inches in thickness. However for larger boats special loader kits can be custom made by some companies. Most of these devices have bodies made of aluminum making them sturdy and durable. This also makes them rust- free. A great thing about a rear boat loader is that it can be adjusted as per your requirements to lift big or small vessels and can be easily assembled using basic tools. So, even if you get a new vehicle you won’t need to change the ropes or slides.
