Default Trailerable sailboat question

Just a consideration: Be certain the boat launches you use are steep
enough to support launching a sailboat of any kind. I say this because
most of the launches we have here in northern NH are too shallow unless
you're willing to get wet. I am definitely not trying to discourage you,
just suggesting that you check; otherwise a centerboard affair may work
much better.

The way they designed the launch ramps here, even centerboard boats can be a
problem.


Yeah, here too. There are these concrete bars which I guess are
supposed to improve traction, but I'd be afraid of damage to the hull on
anything with appreciable draft.
