Abstract
A rack apparatus for storing at least one wakeboard (27,29) in a skiboat having a vertically extending tow pylon (12), comprising: a collar assembly (20) being adapted to support the rack and wakeboards from the vertically extending pylon (12), a plurality of spaced apart lower support arms (23) connected to collar assembly (20) and adapted to support at least one horizontally oriented wakeboard (27) thereon, a plurality of spaced apart upper support arms (25) connected to collar assembly (20) and adapted to support at least one horizontally oriented wakeboard (29) thereon, and a plurality of resiliently extensible and flexible attaching members (30) or attaching straps (31) connected to lower support arms (23), the flexible attaching members (30) being constructed of a length sufficient to wrap around at least one wakeboard (27,29).
Claims13
A storage rack for storing at least one wakeboard in a skiboat having a vertically extending tow pylon, said storage rack comprising:
- a collar assembly adapted to be attached to said tow pylon for support of said rack and said at least one wakeboard from said tow pylon;
- at least one support member providing a first pair of horizontally spaced apart support surfaces connected to said collar assembly and extending horizontally outwardly therefrom by a distance at least about equal to a width dimension of said wakeboard, said first pair of support surfaces being spaced apart by a distance sufficient to receive wakeboard boots therebetween for support of a horizontally oriented wakeboard thereon;
- and
- an attaching device connected to said support member and adapted to secure a wakeboard to said support member when supported thereon, wherein,
- said support member is formed to position said support surfaces at a first height relative to said collar assembly;
- and
- a second support member providing a second pair of horizontally spaced apart support surfaces connected to said collar assembly and extending horizontally therefrom by a distance of at least equal to a width dimension of a wakeboard at a position above said first support surfaces for receipt of a wakeboard thereon, said second pair of support surfaces being positioned sufficiently above said first pair of support surfaces for receipt of a wakeboard therebetween.
The apparatus for storing at least one wakeboard in a skiboat as set out in claim 22, wherein
- said flexible attaching devices are elastically stretchable.
