Launching 25D

Post by Dave Olson »

There has been some amount of discussion on the board about trailering and launching a CD of about 25 feet. Jane and I performed this task last weekend without a problem.

We floated the boat off of the triad trailer with the tongue extension and it worked like a champ! We have a mast step mounted so no crane necessary.

In our opinion...The 25D size is very manageable in the areas of trailering, launching and mast-up...but to do this with only two people requires forethought, methods and fixtures. I can certainly be done effectively though.

Let me know if you would like more details...
