RE:Kayak accessories - Slings and Racks

I've bought a hoist kit, but it's yet to arrive. Tried ratchet straps, but the kayak slipped sideways as I tightened them things and hung down too far. (Kind of like when I'm in my shorts sometimes...) The kayak is now standing on it's end against a wall. Since the bow is above the garage's exposed rafters, it should stay in place.
