Hy! I have a slip-car like this (Harbeck) http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/$T2eC16J,!y0E9s2S5%29qrBRsWnKMCl!~~48_72.JPG but to sail alone the hobie is too heavy to lift and to get the slip underneath it. With two people - each one lifts one hull in front, it works, but alone it tears me apart.. Does anyone know of any trick/device I could use? i.e. something like this  http://www.werkzeugbude24.de/images/whklbla.jpg Thx! |

Can't you just float it onto the trailer? Wheel the beach carrier into the water, float the boat over it, and pull them up onto the beach and away. |

yes, thats what i do to get it out of the water and it works solo. but the cat lies 100m from the water away on lawn and i need to carry it into the water..to do so i need to lift it up, slide the trailer under it and the lifting part is not possible for me |

Can you just leave the boat on the "car" when parked out of the water? |

doesnt it hurt the hulls? the trailer has quite a small surface: http://www.harbeck-trailer.com/wcms/binary/Server.dll?ShowPopupImage?Session=1-rriKuDbE-1-IP&ID=107&Width=400&Height=400 and i doubt it would be very stable against storms, what do you think? |

Wondering if you could run a line or lines from the dolly back around a pylon to help pull the dolly under the boat. Push dolly with foot while pulling it with a line. I will wait for some cat trax owners to post up how they do it! And if they store the boat on the trax.  These are popular here in the states. |
