Boat Kite Launcher

Crude version of a launcher I'm trying to come up with for launching an Arc from a boat. Needs some work but I think it will do the job when I put bearings in it and do a bit more tweaking.

It can work, rhturner. Best is to take it out in the water as the boat drifts away with the and helper, when the lines play out, and your ready, the helper can let go of the kite.

I never got it down right, but maybe this year I'll get it.

Where did you get the end caps?

@mohabie

They are PVC pipe test plugs from Lowes or any home improvement store. These came from Lowes.

I put bearings in it today. Spins freely now, maybe too freely.

That is awesome. I cant tell you how much aggrivation and hell I've had from trying to launch from the back of a boat. This looks perfect.
