[quote=petefromtn]Thanks Delahune and turbo,
Those are pretty much what I expected to hear about how to best do this. It is really kinda scary to put the boat in at the boat launches around here as they are always crowded and as you mentioned concrete and rocks and little if any rubber bumpers on anything. I definitely need to get those fenders because I noticed today I managed to scratch the side of my boat a little on that damn concrete pier.. Oh well I am gonna refinish it anyways soon.
I think the next time I am gonna do the raise only the jib sail thing and attempt to raise the mainsail on the tramp at the end of the pier. I already have a tending line on the front of the main beam but I do not have another at the back. I am gonna make one tonight and get it setup as this is good medicine for being able to control the boat from the pier. I also like the idea that my wife can pull the boat off the trailer because we are usually down in the water doing that ourselves. I think this will work well for what we are doing...
I usually do not let the other boaters bother me but occasionally they can get kinda pushy and that really pisses me off because it is hard enough to get the boat in the water and ready safely as it is. Most people are kind and I get a lot of nice comments on the boat. I think that I will try some of these other ideas posted here the next time around. Peace
