Quicksilver option - any suggestions?

[Dydigital]

I have a excel 435 and a honwave T38.

From experience I can tell you that a winch is a game changer, I can now launch the excel from most beaches even on its road trailer.

I only really take the honwave when there is not a 90% garrantee I will get out, if for example the weather is patchy

We have upgraded this year to a petrol winch to make it even easier.

With a sub 100kg setup you may find the balance of a launch trolley/trailer will help with one person recovery. Getting the boat in balance makes a big difference.

Another option would be to keep With your current setup and move to a dual launch and recovery, take boat down first then engine on a trolley.

So I went for a Rib in the end - a Zodiac 360 Rib Alu which weighs 50kg so enigine and boat should weigh under 100kg for the whole set up inc. fuel. I'm sure two of us will be able to get this up the short run of shingle that cover the ramp here... will have to wait and see!

That looks like a nice boat. I would have liked to see carry handles at the rear of the boat on the inside of the tubes however
