In Response To: Re: Strip: Launching Kayak (JohnAbercrombie)

With my Petrel I either...
Straddle the boat and drop my butt in (beach)
Legs in first, then butt while bracing the rear of the cockpit with my paddle (low dock level with boat)
Feet first, legs, then butt while holding on to dock(dock higher than boat)
Or something like that. It's not often pretty.
