i need to make baby bars for my 5000, seen as laser don't make them

will a laser bottom/top section hold the weight of 2 people?
 

what would be the best way of attaching them onto the racks in such a way that they can be removed?


and no i cant make them out of carbon, class rules dont allow it


*waits for the cherub sailors to answer*

i need the racks out all the way and the gap between hull and rack is more of a leap than a step...
as the two pics on this page show

Oh get you now! I thought you wanted them for a baby to trapeze off of, and I was wondering who's baby!

Yep, pies are the best option!

Are you sure its worth having the racks so far out? as you sail on a lake (me thinks) 'aka, lots of gusts' it wil be long way to get out in a hurry so it would probably be better to have 'em half in and respond to the gusts better. just an idea.
