Launching advice

Hi I have recently purchased a Maelstrom 3.8m sib for fishing. I am looking to take it out on the Norfolk coast, can anyone recommend a safe place to launch ? Or can I launch from most beaches ? I have experience with sibs on lakes and rivers but never the sea so just want to make sure everything is safe as possible.

Thanks for your advice in advance

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I wonder how you launch on lakes and rivers... trailer, transom wheels, carry etc?

Importantly which area of the Norfolk coast are you looking at and what do you want to do once launched... fish, visit other places etc?

Hi with the previous boat I had on lakes and rivers it was possible to just carry into the water. Im going to get some launching wheels for this one. Im looking at areas around weyboune, cley, trimmingham, cromer to fish some inshore areas

That's all part of the Houdini schtick - 'However will he get out?'

...but in the end he does.
