[quote=canadian_catamaran][quote=charlescarlis]Support the hulls as if it were on a trailer - should be fine. That is, use cradles instead of a a round bar or roller. It's really about distributing weight and not creating a pressure point.
Compliments on the simple, yet effective "ramp" with the guides to keep the beach wheels straight. Simple, yet effective. Boards won't wash away?[/quote]
[quote=rodgers]The reason they say keep it flat is that the platform could twist if you were to store it with 1 bow up higher than the other, for example. It is ok if both bows are pointed up while it is resting on the wheels. Especially if the wheels are under the daggerboard trunks.
You also don't want a ton of snow piling up on the tramp, so i would consider raising the bows with the plugs out.[/quote]
Thank you! It's 2 12 foot long sections that are married together with a hinge. Used lots of boulders to wedge everything in place. For the time being there's enough weight on the boards and they're secured in the sand that they won't go anywhere.
When winter comes I'll be able to lift the boards that are in the water up and secure them... At least that's the idea:)[/quote]
