A watercraft carrier includes a base, a hub, an upright, and an actuator. The base includes an outboard end, a distal end, and an upper surface. The hub is disposed at the distal end of the base. The upright is coupled to the hub and configured to rotate with respect to the base. The actuator is configured to release the upright from a locked configuration such that the upright can rotate from a first position to a second position. Displacing the actuator in an outboard direction releases the upright from the locked configuration.

Folding watercraft carrier with outboard handle

Folding watercraft carrier with outboard pull handle

A method of operating a watercraft carrier includes activating a handle at an outboard end of a base of the watercraft carrier. The activating the handle releases a locking mechanism of an upright. The locking mechanism is disposed at a distal end of the base. The method further includes rotating the upright from a first position to a second position.

Carrier

A watercraft carrier, for example, for carrying a kayak, includes a base having an outboard end, a distal end, and an upper surface. The watercraft carrier includes a hub disposed at the distal end of the base and an upright coupled to the hub and configured to rotate with respect to the base. The watercraft carrier includes a handle disposed at the outboard end of the base configured to release the upright from a locked configuration such that the upright can rotate from a first position to a second position. Displacing the handle in an outboard direction releases the upright from the locked configuration.
