Keeping the slipway clear

Isn’t it just old worn out ski slope matting used by the school at Datchet?

They just ain’t bloody well got enough of the stuff down!

Last time I was at Datchett I had to crawl out of the water on all fours  , collect the wheels and aim them roughly at the bows whilst entering the water on my arse at mach 1 , finally having got the boat on the wheels with the bows almost intact I then had to crawl out of the water on my hands & knees once again, whilst clutching the main halyard between my teeth , then once securely located on clean non slippery concrete, proceed to haul the boat out of the water using the afore mentioned halyard – easy!!  The perks of coming first I guess no one around to help?  I had a crew to try and hold the boat whilst all these shenanigans were going on, for the love of Christ I don’t know how the single handers manage?

If it were pulled/rolled up during the week I’m pretty sure all algae would just die naturally!

Winch would get my vote too but I'm sure there are all sort of H&S regulations that would get us into trouble. More pertinently, the slip in question is 35m away from any source of power.

I'm all out of ideas. I'm trying to drag a 5 tonne Hurricane (still looking for the lead ballast) up a steep slope having successfull avoided all submerged obstacles (aka Laser trolleys). And bloody algae are laughing at me! If I'm going to be humiliated I'd prefer a slightly more advanced lifeform.

(I've looked up uses for algae in Wikipedia and nowhere does it list "comedy alternative to banana skin").
