Abstract
A drying rack includes a coupling mechanism configured to couple to a boat, a supporting member pivotably coupled to the coupling mechanism, and at least one hanger coupled to the supporting member and configured to hang a wet material to dry. The supporting member pivots, relative to the coupling mechanism, to a plurality of positions, at least one position allowing a longest length of the at least one hanger to be positioned substantially parallel to a deck of the boat. In implementations a cross member is coupled to the supporting member such that a longest length of the cross member is substantially perpendicular to a longest length of the supporting member. In implementations the cross member pivots, relative to the supporting member, to a plurality of positions, at least one position allowing a longest length of the cross member to be positioned substantially parallel to the deck of the boat.
