Best Dinghy for Estuary use

 

 

Not sure how.  Its a nightmare.

 

If you can sail uptide on a rising tide then if you fit extra tough keelband (which doesnt exist you would have to make it yourself) you can drop the boat on the hard then get rid of the trailer and get back in pull up the main before your afloat.

 

Same on return on the falling tide. Drop it on the slip and then winch onto the trailer from the hard.

 

Have not tried using the anchor its a  big pain trying to get to enough depth and its no fun wading in and out through chest deep water in such a flow. In fact its well dodgy.  Though not sure what the rise of tide like is on the Thames, or what the ground is like.
