To launch a 700 in big waves you have the same problem as any other high performance single hander, ie RS600, Contender, Musto Skiff. You need a helper !
Get the boat in the water and helper to take trolley away. Once helper returns get them to hold boat by windward wing (at fwd end) in as much depth as they can without getting lifted off their feet. Climb into boat, get board and rudder half down and get helper to push you off. |

thats me back in my box. you get as much width to sail in as me then. ive sailed at thorpe bay and benfleet yacht club before, thorpe is good, benfleet is mud crawling uintil you get out of the creek. maybe i will take you up on your offer one day. and perhaps you lot could come to hill head for the triangulation race on the 19th of may.

Yep, that's the easy part... Coming back ashore gracefully in big waves can be done reasonably easily with a lifting centreboard (pick your moment, sit as far back as you can and don't slow down). |
