Hello all,  
Any ideas out there for a device that would assist in lifting efoils onto boats and onto docks from the water also assist in traveling on the boat (securing efoil) onboard  
Thanks for everything efoil.builders!

Daniel

Tie it down in the dinghy and use the davits, hoist, winch, etc. as usual. They are so heavy, unwieldy, and sharp no one wants these things on deck underway. I really wish there were much better options for quick disconnect of the mast. Waydoo was looking so promising there…

Look at how windsurf clubs can transport 10 boards behind a car.  
Yes, Waydoo is great for that.  
A possible solution so that your mast and fuse can lay on the board bottom. Needs a cable extra length of 15cm. Useful in a car boot too.  
Remove the fuselage from the mast  
Board to mast: based on Naish Abracadabra plate, a hinged Abracadabra plate still has to be developed.

i can post a STEP file of a hinged abracadabra once my foil kit arrives. I got the abracadabra kit. It will use simple spring-pin.
