Hi,

The club where I can keep the boat on a trailer does not have a ramp.
The boat ramp does not have a place I can keep the boat & trailer.
Getting it in and out of my yard is tough.

I really would like to keep the boat at the club and lauch it with the
2 ton winch. Do you know how / if this can be done?

Thanks,

Mike Cohen

Why can't you launch from a ramp?
Or if you must sling, you could possibly set the slings slightly off
center to set the mast angle outwards.

Brian Whatcott Altus OK

Hi,

I guess I should be more specific.

I was worried about getting the straps down under the keel and not
wacking the mast.

Is there something I should know about the whole procedure before I
give it a try???

Thanks,

Hi,

I just bought a Catalina 22 swing keel. There are no moorings left,
but I can dry sail it out of the local club. They have a two ton
electric winch which should be more than enough.

Many class boats drysail out of the club, but the all are open cockpit
with lifting rings. inside.

Would it be practical to lauch the Catalina 22 swing keel off the
trailer using a canvas bridal that goes around the hull?

Thanks,

Yup.
