Plans Gone Amiss

You may remember that The Fuzz is the happy owner of a small kayak.  This is not one of those big seagoing things.  It's better suited for a river.  And since the river is much closer to our Home in the Woods, that is very convenient.
Of course as with anything of that nature, it must be stored when not floating around.  The Fuzz had seen where that Ingenious Son had arranged a way to hang one of these little vessels from the ceiling of his garage.  Well, The Fuzz does not have a garage, but he does have a fine new work shed out there.  He had been having troubles with squirrels storing their winter stash in his kayak.  So he decided to try this himself.
He had a plan.

Unfortunately, it was not a good plan.
According to the plan, lines would be run down from  2 pulleys (A) mounted on the rafters out in the open area.  The ends would be clipped to straps (B) already mounted on the kayak.  The 2 lines would be joined at point C, as they exit the pulleys and pass over the wall.  This way, one would in theory, have to gain access to the shed to lower the kayak, thus discouraging theft.  Once inside, the now single line would run though one more pulley (D) and be anchored to the wall in a manner yet to be determined.
It seemed simple, but...

1) The line chosen was some leftover skinny clothesline, too difficult to grip.
2)  The pulleys were just too small.
3)  The line would bind on first, a rafter, and then the top of the wall.
4)  The kayak is a bit heavier than The Fuzz realized.
The cumulative result of these factors, made it impossible for The Frustrated Fuzz to raise the thing into position.

It was obvious that some modifications were needed.

The pulleys were replaced with larger ones, and rearranged to give a 2:1 mechanical advantage.

Now a single line is tied off at A, then run though pulley B to pulley C, and then up to D.  You will note that larger lines are also used affording improved grip.

Lines were rerouted up the rafters to eliminate binding, though one more pulley...

and finally tied off at a cleat.

Here's a look at the remains of the failed system.

We are happy to report that this new improved kayak storage facility is now 100% functional.
