Aluminium trollies

Well the water is neutral at the most difficult part of the haul, the loaded boat sometimes with even more water swilling in the bilges and ole Sam Spoons must be Hercules if he thinks a Blaze is light they are definitely in the category marked overweight to the point of dinghy obesity.

There are only very few 'light' dinghies. Aero, D0, Solution, some Phantoms, Moths, Streaker, Farr 3.7, have I missed any? I don't think so. Maybe the new Hartley Supersofa, not seen one.

Well my chums Phantom doesn't 'feel' like 61kgs it 'feels' lighter than my Solution when you move it around the beach, it was a Vandercraft version, don't know what they claim to weigh, but it's a devil site less than a Blaze and that's for sure.

Balance on the trolley makes a big difference.

Thank you for demonstrating your ignorance  here Pierre 

you appear to have made a very large conflation  here.
