I live in a house and I want to lift my kayak up on my balcony. How
do I do this? I imagine its done with pulleys to lift the kayak and
you have someone stand on the balcony and when the kayak gets there
they hoist it over the rail. How do you arrange the pulleys? thanks

Have at it.



You could actually do this alone if need be by rigging the slings around the
kayak on the ground and hoisting it up from the balcony.
