Everybody wants to invent the better mousetrap, and while the art of invention is a noble one, the path to the perfect manifestation of one’s idea is littered with quite a few failed attempts. In the world of personal watercraft, one idea keeps springing up again and again: the mobile PWC launch. Whether manually operated or mechanically driven, the portable launch has been something tried and tried again for decades. In a recent post though, Fabio Ramos posted a video and two images of their recently-developed “travel lift,” stating, “[Jet Club Barequeçaba] develops their travel lift for jet 100 % National. Much more agility in putting and getting jet out of water, less waiting time for your customers and friends and less physical effort of your team.”
Obviously, the Google translate leaves a bit to be desired but the gist is there: Jet Club Barequeçaba (named for a beach south of the Brazilian city of São Sebastião, São Paulo) builds its own traveling PWC launch, offering superior mobility, access and minimal effort to drop or pull a ski from the water. In the video, you can see how the unit rolls effortlessly over the sand on large automotive-grade tires, heaves the Sea-Doo GTI from the surf and is quickly retrieved. At first blush, it would appear to be a great bit of equipment for resort-based rental outfits who do not have a dock space secured. Others might find it a great tool to access beaches and coves otherwise inaccessible through traditional means.
