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 the
tow vehicles rear wheels are touching the water. (you don't want to dunk the
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???
