Picture a 150 foot smooth dirt track with a 5:1 gradient starting from a grass paddock, down to the beach.<br /><br />The boat trailer has polystyrene flotation blocks bolted to the sides and rear. Two 1 inch guide poles welded to the back about 3 foot high. with a flag.<br /><br />The trailer has a car size jockey wheel attatched to the draw bar in the, "locked forward position". The boat is strapped to the trailer.... and line her up !!. Everyone jumps on board and the last one in gives the trailer a small nudge over the side... and down ya go. At the halfway point we are doing about 30mph.. real white knuckle ride, I tell ya. <br /><br />Well, the boat and trailer hit the surf, motor down and idle out through the waves to deeper water. Un strap the boat, and reverse off the trailer.... <br /><br />Coming back is the opposite but there is a guy on the beach with the winch cable ready to quickly hitch you up and pull you back up the track before the second wave gets ya.... even if you don't like boating.. just watching us go about launch and retrive is full of laughs. It's the only place in the world that it is done.. ha ha ha.
