Nearly every boat in our club sits on some sort of "rack". What you need, 4 dock posts. A good system for hobie 16s would be 2 piece of pipe wider then the beam with 2 1/2" PVC over the outside (used like a roller). For stability use two more lengths of pipe to parallel the boat on the sides. Slihtly longer then the Tramp on your 16. Lay a plank accross the cross middle with a bit of overhang for and aft. When all is said and done you should be able to raise your sails, lift the transom and push the boat off while walking down the plank, and then hope on with out even getting wet. There are maybe 25 Hobies in our club and 25 variation of "racks". Hopefully I will be attaching a photo of my Hobie 18 on something similar to what I just described, that's also my Hobie 20 on the left. I invite you to come race with us check out beyc.org. Our club is on Bald Eagle Lake on the north side of Mpls/St.Paul.
