Advice for newbie

Hi

sending you a PM on roping off but when you do your level 2 etc course/s your instructor will cover this and other safe methods of slipping and recovering the boat. Cheers Roy

Yeah, I know! Extremely pleased with all the advice too. Interesting that the 1952 cuddy was mentioned - that was the exact boat I had in mind after my initial research so it's nice to see I was thinking along the right lines.

Once again, thanks to everyone for all this help, it has all been extremely valuable!

cheers

On the slipway question - You'll do well to find anyone who will put your boat in and out on your trailer. Most are either totally unattended or at a marina and then used by their own purpose built hoists / sling thingys and will charge £50 -100.

I tow a 23 foot boat with a Toyota Landcruiser. The only issue for a biiger boat is a wet and slippery slipway. A 4x4 has the grip to drag the boat / trailer from the water. Towing is fine with 18-20 boats gets a bit more exciting when the weight gets over 1800kg. Have a look at the photos below.

Good luck.
