Where is the water!

We saw incidents like this a few times this summer. I aways check my boat is chained on to the trailer every time!

Ten points for the first ribster to name the venue!

Dave, yes you are right. Oh I see that you are a local.

This is the exact type of incident I was referring to in post as to how one might remedy it, what did they do to get the boat back on?

1/2 dozen blokes lifting the stern whilst one bloke winched her back on the trailer. scrapes to the hull at the back end.

What concernes me is the fact that kids could be injured or even worse!

The point that I am making is always double check your pride and joy is secure, I do!

Its a roller trailer; just winch it back on

That one is easy to fix. Attach winch cable, place 1/2doz. fat blokes on bow to tip stern back up, tighten winch cable and back down into water, remove 1/2 doz. fat blokes and start again.

One of the advantages of my sticky solid trailer I suppose - enough trouble getting the damn boat off it with half of it in the water, no way it would slide off while out of the water
