Should I be connecting to the dolphin striker of my Nacra 5.2 to pull the boat up a boat ramp with rollers, or will this damage the boat? Is there a better location? -

Id put a line between the bridal anchors and pull from there rather than the dolphin striker. -

Front beam! Try not to pull on the dolphinstriker, it's really not meant to be pulled laterally, same goes for the bridal anchors. You should have a space at each side of the front beam between the hull and tramp to attach a rope to.

Dave

Feed a line thru the front beam, tie it in a loop and use for towing or pulling.
