I know you've dragged your dinghy up onto the beach - not easy is it? And here in the Salish Sea, this task is even more difficult and harder on the dinghy because the beaches are all gravel - sometimes even barnacle covered gravel. Mike of
s/v Chalice shows us a way to make the task into a one-man job, and one that protects the dinghy bottom to boot:
Wouldn't it be nice to just wheel your dinghy down to the beach or up the beach? I got the idea from Harry Bryan in Canada.

Installed. I had to cut a hole in the boat and build a well for it. Not hard and no maintenance issues with the 1" stainless tube and plastic parts.

I made a wooden panel, mounted two gougeons to fit the rudder pintles, added a pair of wheels which are a few inches below the keel of the dingy and I can drag my 14 foot dingy up the beach.
