A freestanding outdoor storage rack which allows a single person to load and unload a watercraft onto a designated area or slot of the storage rack. The storage rack can comprise support side panels having openings therethrough for receipt of arm bars that can extend the intended length of the storage rack. Exterior tube rollers can be disposed over the various storage sections of the arm bars as defined by the location of the support side panels. The rollers assist in loading the watercraft, such that elderly or other physically comprised individuals can load and unload a watercraft on their own by placing the bow end of the watercraft on a forward/front exterior roller of the intended storage slot. The person can then go to the opposite end of the watercraft and with rolling assistance provided by the forward roller, move the watercraft back forward such that the bow end reaches and rests on a back exterior roller of the storage slot.

A rack for aquatic recreational equipment comprises an adjustable frame comprising a left-side member, a right-side member, and at least one horizontal member extending from the left-side member to the right-side member; at least two pairs of opposing arms extending away from the left-side member and the right-side member; a mounting member operatively attached to (i) the adjustable frame and (ii) a dock, said mounting member orthogonally oriented with respect to a plane defined by an adjacent water surface; and a lifting assembly comprising a slider-crank mechanism to translate rotational movement of a rotatable handle to linear movement of the adjustable frame, thereby allowing for a change in height of the adjustable frame with respect to the adjacent water surface.

Electrically actuated watersports board racks and related methods are disclosed herein. The board racks include a board-receiving region configured to receive a watersports board and a retention structure. The retention structure is configured to be selectively actuated between a retained configuration, in which the retention structure is configured to apply a retention force to the watersports board to retain the watersports board within the board-receiving region, and a released configuration, in which the retention structure is configured to release the retention force. The retention structure includes an electrical actuator configured to selectively actuate the retention structure between the retained configuration and the released configuration.

An equipment storage rack for a boat can store a piece of equipment on the exterior of the boat and can be adjustable. For example, the equipment storage rack can be attached to an upper perimeter surface of a barrier of the boat and can be adjustable for different widths of the upper perimeter surface. The adjustable equipment storage rack includes a cradle for supporting a piece of equipment, and a mounting bracket connected to the cradle to support the cradle. The mounting bracket has a plurality of engagement positions for a fastener to engage with the mounting bracket and to secure the mounting bracket to the boat at a fastening position. The cradle is a different distance from the fastening position at each engagement position of the plurality of engagement positions.
