Thanks for your reply thats an awesome piece of kit but what I had in mind was more of a scoop made from 15mm? pipe and some fittings that lowered the boat by hand.  I have seen one, but can't remember any of the details.

Hi Cap'n. Did you mean a simple grab-launcher like this I made years ago and still in use. Made from 15mm bits of B&Q plumbing.

Very similar but this had one upright, still, it's only a case of modifying your design.  Thanks for the help and Merry Xmas to everyone on here.
