Ready

Lower the rudder and the centre board (keel),  start engine, cast off and motor clear of the marina, raise sails, cut motor and sail away. 

For recovering the boat, follow launch sequence back to front:-
First the empty trailer is backed down the ramp and immersed into the water until half the trailer wheels are submerged. Guide the bow onto the trailer. Use the 10:1 hand winch on the trailer to pull the boat up completely. Secure the boat to the trailer, drive up the ramp slowly (look out for power lines and overhanging branches). Park the car, rig down the sails, boom, rudder and mast. Secure all loose items, connect signal panel and test the brakes/turning lights are working, before driving home.
