Couple of comments:

Nice lake. Where is it?

Webster, MA. Lake Chargogagogmanchaugagogchabungamungagog.

How do you handle the boat single handed with no dock at the ramp?

What - you can't launch without a dock? What a wimp... :)

Simple, boat comes off the trailer, bow line attached to trailer, pull
boat to the side, beach same. The boat has a keel guard.

I guess I'm guilty of being a wimp then. I can't get on my boat
without having access to the stern, so beaching it at this time of the
year is not the best way to stay warm and dry.

I also don't have a keel guard and I have an aversion to scratching up
the nice shiny gelcoat.

Your boat is considerably different than mine - your wimpyness is
hereby excused.

For the nonce. :)

Inland lake sailors with the same boat as me..keep the boat a bit off shore
on the anchor while stowing vehicle/trailer. Then then wade/swim out to the
boat and use a boarding ladder.
The North Atlantic tends to be a bit cooler than inland lakes...so this is a
bit more uncomfortable.
