A pair of combined hinge assembly/hinge-to-plate connection brackets is connected to the craft attachment unit. A brake plate is connected to the combined hinge assembly/hinge-to-plate connection brackets. A brake plate control assembly is connected to the brake plate. The brake plate control assembly includes a brake cable and a cable winder assembly which is connected between the brake cable and the brake plate for lifting and lowering the brake plate.
