I've read a couple folks trailer their cats on stern first. I need to do that to launch as I'm 99% of the time heading into the wind on takeoff and want to put the sail up before getting in. I tried this once and seems there are 2 issues, one, the rudders hit the rollers first (when picking up off the hard deck) and two, where to attach the winch strap hook? Crossbar squeezes the tramp piece too much. |

Sounds like too much trouble, just drop it onto your beach wheels and do a 180. |
