What is the best entrance you have seen.

[julians]

I never saw the point of sealegs, presumably they're not road legal, so can't actually be used anywhere? Even if they were they would seem to be hugely unwieldy.

What's the scenario where they would be useful? What am I missing?

What's the scenario where they would be useful? What am I missing

In Jersey a few people who have a house right on the beach, with direct access, had a sealegs rib.

I remember seeing one 'parked' at the top of the pebble bank that joins Marmotier to Blanche Ile (La Taille?) at the ecrehous.

But yeah they have extremely limited uses

In terms of best entrance....nothing like seeing someone that really knows that they're doing with jet propulsion berthing in big winds

 

[Parabolica]

Best entrance I can recall did have a pair of legs, but I did not ask if they were sea legs

I think they were (switches Sean Connery voice mode on), she legs.

They are not road legal as standard but can be modified to be road legal. There is one that is road legal that lives half a mile up the road from Warsash slipway. Always amusing to watch it go round the Peter Nash roundabout.

If you go to Yarmouth you often see a couple parked up on the little beach in front of the George hotel.

Really suit anyone with a water front house, and a slipway.

Can they drive onto a trailer ?

A few years ago I saw a rib going at a great rate of knots across Ryde Sands, unsurprisingly he hit the bottom and the outboard kicked up spraying water everywhere. I didn't know it was a SeaLegs until it lowered it legs and calmly motored off into deeper water. Very cool !

Came up towards the cluster of motorboats I was going to moor alongside. Engine cut. Drifted to a perfect stop alongside the chosen boat... Perfect arrival...


Except I hadn't cut the engine, diesel bug had...

Same person did it with a 50 footer but was unable to lift the props which are now part of a water feature in my garden.
