An obvious player in this scenario is the bizarre and extreme angle

the boat ramp. Wonder what the designer was thinking?
I've seen ramps like that before. Not optimal, but the designer was
probably compromising for all factors -- tide range, available real
estate,
need for parking, etc.
What was the boat owner's excuse? :-)
That ramp is far from steep. It's actually a pretty decent grade.
I tend to agree.
There is a ramp at Delaware City, Del., that's one of the worst I've seen.
It's about ten feet below street level, so you are backing down this steep
incline from the street level. I don't know what angle actually is, but,
viewed from the water, it looked about 70 degrees (grin). It was
probably
more like 20.

Q. What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
\
Normal Northern California ramp at the lake or ocean. 10' below the road?
Oroville, where I spent the 4th is down about 60'. so the ramp is long
enough to pull down and do a U-turn and not too fast, so you do not roll.
Is a 9 land ramp, so lots of room.
