[quote=DamonLinkous]Good stuff in this thread, especially the safety tips. I've done more damage to my boat on launch ramps than on the water.
(if your boat has daggerboards, remove them entirely before retrieving the boat up the ramp, or they might drop down and grind 6 inches off the tips, leaving a white line all the way up the ramp. "I've heard of this happening")
To me the ideal ramp situation is where you have a beach next to the ramp, then just get the boat in the water, walk it over to the beach, rig it there.
Occasionally I have to launch from a traditional powerboat ramp where it's all concrete and docks, this situation really sucks but can be handled with at least two people. I don't even try launching from that kind of place single handed.[/quote]
