I need to pull a H16 on a grassy beach and want to keep it protected from rocks, etc. Does anyone know what works? Rolling it on fenders: any particular type / minimum size recommended? Any other idea that works and is not excessively expensive? Thank you |

Cat Trax (widely discussed on the interwebs) is the most common solution to moving a beach catamaran over the ground. They're a set of balloon tires with an axle. Surprisingly expensive if you buy them new ($500-ish), but maybe you can find a used set if you're looking to save some money. |

You can get some sections of PVC Pipe (2" or 3") and lay in front and this will help the hulls "roll" over the ground better than dragging. |

You could make a carpeted sled for the hulls and pull it up the lawn? |
