ABSTRACT:
A ski rack is described for releasably attachment to a boat for receiving and supporting skis and the like along the gunwale and outboard of the boat hull. The rack includes a pair of frames mountable to the boat along the gunwale by a clamp device at top ends of the frame. Suction cups are provided at bottom ends of the frames for securing the device to the boat hull. Adjustments are provided for extending and retracting the suction cups according to the boat hull configuration and for angularly adjusting the suction cups to match the contacted hull surface. Horizontal sections of the frame are provided with upright ski retainers to receive and secure skis in position thereon. The retainers are spaced apart horizontally and vertically with one set being situated above and along the gunwale and the other set being vertically spaced downwardly from the first set and outboard of the boat hull to receive and support skis or the like. Spacing of the ski retainers in this manner permits reception of a number of skis while maintaining close proximity of the skis to the boat hull.
