You get two complete mounting points in the box, and two ways to hang them: screw-in StarPort bases or nylon straps with clips. Set of two, black finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your garage or dock shed has kayaks leaned against every wall and a SUP eating up the floor, the RAILBLAZA Wall Sling \u0026amp; StarPort set fixes that. It's a two-point wall cradle that holds a kayak, canoe, SUP, surfboard, or small boat flat against the wall, up off the ground and out of the way. You get two complete mounting points in the box, which is enough for one hull. It's a clean, simple answer to the storage problem every paddler and boater runs into eventually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this one flexible is that RAILBLAZA gives you two ways to hang it. Screw the two StarPort bases straight into studs or a solid backing board for a permanent, load-bearing mount. Or run the included nylon straps with clips around a beam or rafter if you're renting and can't put holes in the wall. Same slings, same adjustment buckles, two different anchors. Pick the one that fits your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA word on the mounting, because it matters. The StarPort screw-mount is only as strong as what it screws into. Drywall anchors won't cut it. A loaded kayak swinging on a wall hang will pull toggles right out of the sheetrock. Find the studs, or throw up a length of 2x4 backing across two studs and mount to that. Do it once, do it right, and it'll hold for years. If you're mounting to a boat's gelcoat or fiberglass instead, back the screws with a plate so the fastener load doesn't crack the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjustment buckles let you set the sling width to the hull you're hanging. Narrow sea kayak, wide fishing SUP, they all sit in the same cradle once you dial the strap in. One tip from the field: cinch the buckle, then double the tail back through the cam. Wet nylon can creep a little under load, and that extra pass locks it in place. Really wide boards sit close to the wall, so leave yourself a couple inches of spacing when you set your StarPort positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStoring a hull flat on the ground or leaned on its edge is how boards warp and hulls develop soft spots. Weight sitting on one point for months does damage you won't notice until you're back on the water and something feels off. Hanging the hull in a wide sling spreads the load across the strap and takes the pressure off any single spot. That's the real reason to get these things off the floor, well beyond just reclaiming the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo slings handle most kayaks, SUPs, and surfboards with room to spare. For a longer canoe, say 14 feet and up, we'd add a third support near the middle so the hull isn't carrying its whole weight on just two points. RAILBLAZA sells the sling components separately, so that's an easy add whenever you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're storing outside or in a spot that gets direct sun, keep an eye on the straps over a full season. Nylon and UV don't love each other long term, and a black strap baking in summer sun will age faster than one in a shaded garage. For a permanent outdoor mount, the screw-in StarPort option holds up better than the strap-and-clip version, since there's less webbing exposed and nothing to work loose over time. Indoors, you'll get years out of either setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the sleeper benefit. Once the two StarPorts are on the wall, they're not locked to the slings. StarPort is RAILBLAZA's universal mount base, and it accepts a whole range of RAILBLAZA accessories. So the same anchors that hold your kayak today can hold a rod rack, a light, or a gear track down the line. For boaters, paddlers, and anyone tight on storage space, this is a proven way to get your hulls off the floor and protect them between trips. Black finish, set of two, and it ships same day when it's in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet of 2 complete wall mounts, enough to cradle one kayak, canoe, SUP, or surfboard at two points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo mounting methods included: screw-in StarPort bases for a permanent hold, or nylon straps with clips for renters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustment buckles set the sling width to fit anything from a narrow sea kayak to a wide fishing SUP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStarPort universal base accepts other RAILBLAZA accessories after the slings come off\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide webbing sling spreads hull weight to help prevent warping and soft spots in storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting screws included for a permanent stud-backed or backing-board install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHolds boats, SUPs, kayaks, surfboards, and canoes flat against the wall and off the floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish keeps a low profile on garage, shed, or dock walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized RAILBLAZA reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat comes in the box?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA set of two.
