I have a Hobie mirage kayak and recently had a partial tear to a tendon in my shoulder so was unable to lift the kayak onto the patrol have been looking for a loader price was around $400.00 for most rear end loaders but had a look on ebay tonight and found a side loader that fits most roof bars at $126.00 so very happy i can load and unload now without her indoors having a whinge to help

My other half (Pisces) has a Hobie Mirage Revolution and as I am physically unable to help with the loading he found a system called "Rack and Roll" .....I think that is the name, I can't ask him because at the moment he is busy making loud snoring noises in his big chair! Its a really good system, he attaches the two pieces to the roof rack and lifts it easily on to them....well actually its a little bit more involved than that but I'm not good at technical stuff, but it has solved the problem for us. cheers capricorn
Rack and roll are a great system ... We have a Hobie and and older style fiberglass kayak and hubbie can get them up and down on his own ... I can manage the smaller one on my own but not the heavy Hobie. It takes a bit of practice but after that, no worries ... Easy as ... Highly recommended.
