Hi, Eric,
We just got back to Florida after the last month in the Bahamas. Deploying and retrieving the kayak has gotten easier and easier the more we do it. First, I undo all the straps and line ties, and then I pull the kayak forward to the bow (on top of the rail). It then slides right down the port side rail into the water.
In retrieving I am able to pull the kayak up along the cabin and port side rail to the bow. The trick here is now to straighten out the kayak so that it can be slid aft in the rack. While I have done it myself, I usually have my wife hold the kayak in the bow and push it to port while I place and move the stern in to the rack.
Hope that helps!
Bill
