Skidway tracks are suitable for use in reasonably exposed locations when anchored in place.
The flexible nature of the rod track enables it to handle wave action that would destroy a rail system or rigid structure. Skidway tracks also work well on concrete or wooden ramps. Circular flanges located on the skids keep a boats' keel tracking on center. Two tracks placed parallel will handle catamarans or small pontoon boats. Two eight or sixteen foot lengths are ideal for hauling a Hobie 16 completely clear of wave action.
