Re: Launching A Sailboat with a 3-4 ft keel from trailer.
That last boat I saw would've had to have a 15' foot tube (just guessing), I'm going to have to hang around the yatch club and watch em'. I don't think I'm allowed in, I'll have to watch from the water!!!
Re: Launching A Sailboat with a 3-4 ft keel from trailer.
not quite sure about the total technique but I've watched several fixed high keel owners tie a stout line to the trailer,totally unhook it, than send it down the ramp untill the boat has enough water to float off. Than, they haul the trailer back in. Similar process when they load up. It really is pretty cool to watch.
