When should you consider the Super Size Wheel Option? If sand is so soft, that your foot sinks in it to your ankle height, then the Super Size Wheel would be appropriate. Or if you have a heavier boat, which would need more support on moderate sandy beaches. [links]
Optional Super Size Tire Mounted on Dolly with Large Standard Tire Shown Side by Side
Plumb Bows (Straight Up & Down) - Typically adjust the Bracket to be mid-way on the Handle and Adjust the Bow Stop Straight Out, so that the Vee Roller contacts the Bow at Mid Point. [links]
Generally, you would adjust the Dollies Tongue length to be about one foot past the balance Point. This gives you the Lightest Handle Weight to pick up, while keeping the Boat firmly on the Dolly past the Axle Point. Divide the Length of your Boat in Half and Add One Foot (12"). Example: You have a 14' Sailboat - One half the length is 7' (84") - Add One Foot (12") - Would Equal 8' (96") - Adjust the Tongue to 96" and you are Correctly Balanced. here

The Inflatable Catamaran’s Measurements [links]
Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or simply enjoy having to fight the wind to move around the water, inflatable catamaran sailboats are the thing for you. You can go by yourself if you enjoy your ‘me’ time, or even take your friends or family with you to spend the day sailing around the coast.
Best For: Large groups on a lazy journey!
Best For: Versatility and multiple options for motors and rowing.

Now Larry, how about a trick for rinsing and drying off wet dogs before they get back onto the boat?
Larry had a solution. He always does. And this one is a doozy. more
So I was telling Larry how much of a hassle it is when bringing the dogs to the beach. Beaching the boat ends up pushing the whole boat sideways on the beach with oncoming waves and can become very difficult to re-float it when it’s time to leave. Instead, we keep going back every 5 minutes to push the boat back into the water.
I use a grappling hook type of dinghy anchor. LRA is real anchoring so I created a special rode of 5 feet of chain with 8 feet of 3/8″ line. I attached a clip to the end of it so it could be attached to the bow eye of the dinghy close to the water. more
