That's one of the reasons I sold my 19' weekender sailboat.
Our ramps are so shallow that the boat is still hard on the trailer when

wheels in salt water)
To get my sailboat launched I had to drive ahead, gun in reverse and slam
on
the brakes three or four times. Not something for the faint hearted.

Don't sailboat usually have a trailer line allowing you to roll the
trailer way down into the water???

Maybe for the keel boats.
For retractable keels like mine, the trailers are ordinary bunk or roller.
