<p>Apparatus is provided for lifting objects, in particular craypots, from the water into a boat. The apparatus comprises an attachment means for attaching the object to the apparatus, a lifting arm pivotally mountable to the boat, moveable between a lower position where an end of the lifting arm is located proximate the water, and an upper position where the end locates above a gunwhale of the boat. The apparatus further comprises a lifting handle, positionable inside the boat, and operable to move the lifting arm from the lower position to the upper position. When the object is attached to the apparatus by the attachment means, movement of the lifting arm is effective to lift the object from the water to above the gunwhale. The lifting arm is positioned within the boat, allowing fishermen to more safely and easily lift craypots into their boat, whilst remaining in the centre of the boat themselves.</p> |
