Hi Guys

Has anyone tried using inflatable rollers to beach their boat (on a
beach!)?

I was wondering if this could be done with well inflated fenders for my
19'
sportsboat?

Cheers

Depends upon the weight of the boat, the incline, the softness of the
sand, the size of the rollers, and the number of gorillas you have
around to pull/push the boat. I'd guess under most circumstances, no.

In Baja, they have used big PVC pipes as beach roller. They are open so
water can get in a sink them, have roipes attached, so not lost, and then as
you roll the boat up the beach, they one at the back can be moved to the
front. Have to have enough size and number to support the boat without much
sinking in the beach / sand.
