Recently, I spoke to a distributor for Magnum trimarans. These small sailboats are made by VirusBoats in France, and often serve as "day boats" for sailors who love to either sail solo or with a small crew of guests.
I was impressed by many of the things he shared about these sailboats during our conversation, but one thing in particular surprised me. Apparently, there is a bit of a misconception among some prospective buyers about these boats. The purpose of this article is to address it.
It seems that because Magnum trimarans are multi-hulled craft, many sailors simply assume they handle much like double-hulled catamarans. But this couldn't be further from the truth. It's an assumption that should be quickly set aside.
You see, catamarans have a generally well-deserved reputation for being difficult to tack. Their 2 long slender double-hulls, combined with the fact they often glide along the water's surface on just one of them, make it hard for those boats to turn easily.
The Magnum trimaran sailboats, however, are very different.
When the Magnums first came on the boat scene several years back, they gave sailors a trimaran that handled much more like any other small boat that turns easily. In other words, they're easy to turn.
The stern of their vaka (main) hull is basically flat. This design, which combines with the a centerboard, allows the Magnums to swivel to and fro quite easily ... almost as if they were single-hulled dinghies.
Sailors who come back to shore after a sailing run for the first time often say they're amazed by how easy these trimarans are to maneuver and turn. Apparently, their design shape allows such handling to be possible, and was unique when the boats originally came out. A few other trimarans have now copied this feature in recent years.
The flat surface along the back of the boat's principle hull, combined with the centerboard, permit this fast boat to be nimble as well. And considering the fact they're stable on the water, such ease of handling is often a pleasant surprise for users.
More about the Magnum will be included in a forthcoming book by the author. The new book will be exclusively about small trimarans. And readers may fill out any short survey posted in exchange for a free trimaran-related information product in development.

What Type of Fishing Boat Suits You Best
By Trevor Kugler
In this article, which type of fishing boat suits you best, I'm going to outline a couple of different varieties of fishing boat, so that you can make in informed decision. It's also important to keep in mind that I'm not referring to "normal" fishing boats that in many cases cost tens of thousands of dollars. In this article I'm going to focus on affordable options that most anglers can afford. Not the types of boats that you'll need a loan to own.
In most cases truly affordable and reliable boats, such as the ones outlined in this article are inflatable. Yes, I said inflatable, but before you get disgusted and begin thinking of the types of inflatable boats that your kids play with in the pool, hear me out. When I use the term inflatable boat I'm referring to quality inflatable boats. Inflatable boats that can stand up to a ton of punishment (which is the hallmark of quality) and are still affordable enough for the average person.
Let's list some of these boats, shall we?
Any of these types of boats will give you an affordable alternative to high cost boats. What type of fishing boat suits you best? Obviously that's for you to decide, and hopefully this article will help you make the decision. Just remember, having a fishing boat doesn't have to break the bank. There are always options available. A quality inflatable boat can serve your fishing needs for many years to come.
In many cases using any of the types of boats outlined in this article makes you a better angler. You are much more "in tune" with what you are doing when fishing from these types of boats. I know from experience how much more effective you can be as an angler with inflatable fishing boats such as these. Make sure you buy quality, and give one of them a shot for yourself.

Inflatable boats that can stand up to a ton of punishment (which is the hallmark of quality) and are still affordable enough for the average person.
Let's list some of these boats, shall we?
- Canoes & Kayaks - Of all the inflatable boat options out there canoes and kayaks are probably some of the most affordable. For fishing boats, both of these options can work well, especially for one or two people. Inflatable canoes and kayaks are great for fishing in lakes and ponds, or rivers and streams. These types of inflatable boats are great for RV users as well.
- Four to Six Person Runabouts - These are the larger inflatable boats that hold more people. The quality versions are great with an attached outboard motor as well. The best place to buy one of these types of inflatable boats is from a quality manufacturer such as Sea Eagle. Whatever manufacturer you choose look for things like money back guarantees and free trial periods. Both of these things are indications of a quality product.
- Individual Inflatables - These are the most affordable and also the smallest option available in boats. These boats are both float tubes and personal pontoon boats. Individual inflatables are great for either lake fishing or river fishing, and again they are incredibly affordable.
Any of these types of boats will give you an affordable alternative to high cost boats. What type of fishing boat suits you best? Obviously that's for you to decide, and hopefully this article will help you make the decision. Just remember, having a fishing boat doesn't have to break the bank.

What Makes the New Bayliner Boats the Number One Selling Boat World-Wide
By Richard P. Ostler
A Friend of mine is in the process of buying a new boat. He came to me recently and asked I've heard mixed reviews about Bayliner boats. Looking at a 2007-2008 Bayliner 175 or 185 runabout or ski/fish. For around $11,600 to $1,600, it seems like a great deal!
So fact or fiction? Are Bayliner Boats really the bottom of the quality list? What makes a new Bayliner so much cheaper than any other boat?
Brunswick Corp. who manufactures Bayliner also makes Maxum, Triton, Baja and Lund boats, all of which are extremely well made boats. Just check out the price difference, and go to a dealer and look at the other Brunswick brands of boats.
If you only have a certain amount of money to spend, then go for it. If you can afford more. Then certainly look at the makes of boats that Brunswick makes.
My father owned two Bayliners and have had two great boats. I'll be the first admit that the older Bayliner were cheaper made boats. The hull was not as thick as other boats, and they were a bit noisier, but if you maintain them properly then it will last a long time. Bayliner has improved all the things that had given them a bad name. Like the seating, carpet, gauges etc. It's really a good buy for the money.
Although Bayliner keeps their cost down by mass producing, I find it to be a very good boat made by one of the leading manufacturing companies.
A Brunswick Corporation brand and a member of the Brunswick Boat Group, is the acknowledged leader in recreational boating. They make most of the boats on the market.

The Vendee Globe Race
By Martin Dinham
November this year sees the start of the Vendee Globe, the solo around the world race that is arguably the pinnacle of competitive ocean racing achievement. Competitive solo circumnavigations have captured the publics imagination ever since Robin Knox Johnson won the inaugral Golden Globe race in his ketch Suhaili back in 1969. Since then though the technology involved in the boats, the speeds and the pressures have increased almost beyond recognition and it is unlikely that Knox Johnson and his peers would recognise the space age, carbon fibre, computer assisted machines of todays sailors.
The 2008 race has a strong British contingent. Possibly the highest profile British entry is Alex Thomson in his boat Hugo Boss. Thomson is probably most famous for his rescue by fellow Brit Mike Golding in the last race after his boat struck problems in the Southern Ocean, but the latest Hugo Boss is a well funded campaign and Thomson has already circumnavigated in her (albeit double rather than singlehanded), meaning she is among the best prepared boats in the field. Golding is also back for another attempt at the race (his last effort also ended in failure after a dismasting) in his latest boat Ecover. The quieter and more self effacing Golding probably doesnt have the "rock star" profile of Thomson, but Golding is the most experienced of the UK entrants and must be amongst the favourites for overall honours. The two other British entrants with new boats are very different campaigns.
The first is Dee Caffari, famous for being the first woman to circumnavigate the world, solo, the "wrong way". Caffari has a big budget campaign and her new Open 60 Aviva is the sistership to Mike Goldings boat. She is however extremely inexperienced in ocean racing in comparison to the rest of the field, so this event is likely to be a steep learning curve for the 34 year old ex teacher. Brian Thompson by contrast is an ultra experienced ocean racer, 46 years old with 4 circumnavigations under his belt. His boat, Pindar is probably the most radical design in the race and to date has shown brief bursts of speed in between major problems (including a dismasting). It remains to be seen if Thompson can be consistently competitive and keep Pindar together. The second woman amongst the "big name" British entries is Sam Davies, the worlds leading female ocean racer and one of the very fastest ocean racers full stop. She is only 33 years old and her boat Roxy is a generation behind the races more modern designs, but Davies is experienced and talented and could well spring a surprise or two in the race. Jonny Malbon and Artemis Ocean Racing have a big budget, but their campaign has been dogged by problems and their radical new boat has had more than a few teething issues. Malbon is also relatively inexperienced in solo racing, so will be up against it in this race.
Britains seventh entry into the race is a stark contrast to the other four and their big budget professional campaigns. Steve White is almost a throwback to the corinthian days of sailing with a small team and a shoestring budget. His boat, Spirit of Weymouth is a ten year old design and his campaign has been struggling for cash since inception, but it's well run and White is an experienced sailor having come from a background (like Thomson, Golding and Caffari) of Chay Blyths Challenge business. He will be hoping to spring the odd surprise on the bigger names and to increase his profile with a view to securing funding for a real push at the 2012 event.
All the British skippers face a stern challenge with 30 entrants in this most testing of events. Favourites include Bernard Stamm, Vincent Roux and Michel Desjoyeaux, all of whom have won other around the world races. The start gun fires at Les Sables d'Olonne on November 9th and only then will we begin to see how the race will shape up.

FoldCat Boat - The Best Inflatable Pontoon Boat
By Trevor Kugler
When it comes to inflatable pontoon boats, it's hard to find a better option than the FoldCat Boat. In this article I'm going to review and explain a little about what the FoldCat inflatable pontoon boat has to offer. This inflatable pontoon boat is the answer to many anglers' dreams.
The first thing I want to do is go over some of the reasons other inflatable pontoon boats are such a pain in the butt. They are very time consuming to assemble. They don't have any type of "floor". They have more parts to put together than your kids new Barbie playhouse. In most cases your legs are in the water, rather than being above the water.
The FoldCat boat is unique because not only is it assembled in five minutes, it also positions you above the water on platforms. You don't have to wear waders with the FoldCat. You can wear whatever fishing clothes you choose, because getting wet is not necessary with the FoldCat inflatable pontoon boat. You are sitting on top of the water while fishing, just like with a traditional boat.
This boat is truly a quality alternative to all of the high cost boats out there. The FoldCat is great for lake or river fishing, and can even be used while fishing your favorite trout stream. Its maneuverability is unsurpassed and its toughness is unparalleled. This is the type of boat that will last many years (heck, I've had mine for over 8 years!)
How do you know that all of this is true? Well, obviously you don't, which is why the manufacturer offers a trail period! This way you know that the [http://www.jrwfishing.com/boats.html]FoldCat Boat is the right boat for you. Oh yea, and in many cases they will give you free shipping as well. Any company that will stand behind their products with trial periods and free shipping is probably a company that you want to deal with.
When it comes to inflatable pontoon boats, you'll be hard pressed to find one that offers more options and has more guarantees than this one. The FoldCat is probably the best inflatable pontoon boat on the market today. What, you don't believe me? Good, do your research and find out for yourself. At the end of the day, I think you'll come to the same conclusion.

What Yacht Brokers Can Do For a Person Selling a Boat
By Callie Morris
It would indeed be very difficult for any of us to forget the scenes where Tony Curtis was flirting, conning and consequently romancing Marylin Monroe in the delightful romantic comedy 'Some Like It Hot' which, throughout the years has proved itself not only to be an array of everyone's favorite comic moments but a timeless classic in its own merit. Now about the fact that the scenes being unanimously favorite, had a number of factors to it; yes, it had the attractive Tony Curtis and the sizzling Monroe but one must not forget that they essentially centered around or at least most of the scenes involved a yacht.
For most of us, who don't shy away from acknowledging the fact that it is indeed a sense of pure delight to indulge into certain activities that may well be tagged as worldly and materialistic pleasures, a yacht often forms a bite of considerable size in the total apple of our dreams. The pleasure that one can derive by taking a trip or going for a cruise on a privately owned yacht with all the luxuries and facilities can only be compared to those moments of heightened ecstasy. In this entire business of buying, owning and even selling yachts, there are a group of people generally referred to as the yacht brokers who play a very important role. Yacht brokers are, in a nutshell, a set of professionals who are not only well versed in the tricks of the financial aspect, but are also very much familiar with the technicalities of the functioning of a yacht itself. While in most of the cases these professionals belong to a corporate firm or any such other similar body, there are also ample instance where they operate on an individual level.
For a person with an intention of selling a vessel, employing an expert yacht broker is certainly a most commendable idea. He must have an entire array of ideas and strategies for planning the advertising and marketing up his sleeve. Through these sets of marketing strategies and ad campaigns exploiting different kinds of media from newspapers to the websites, an attempt to reach out to the potential buyers is made if not ensured. Working on that already laid groundwork; good yacht brokers who are often known to be articulate people and gifted with considerable charm and presence of mind carry on with their work of promoting the vessel for sale, meeting the possible and prospective buyers. In fact, a lot depends on them when it comes to the question of truly impressing the clients with statistics, data, information and most importantly the manner in which they are being presented before the actual financial transaction involving the boat takes place. These professionals are also known to be deposits of technical knowledge about yacht as well as the yacht business, so even for the seller lending an ear or two occasionally to them is not exactly going to hurt in the long run.

Flexible Fishing Boats! The Good Fish Can't Hide From You Anymore
By William Parise
Fishing boats have come a long way since the days when you had to purchase the large metal or wood boat with the massive gas guzzling motors attached.
Now even though these boats are still popular, some fishing enthusiasts are searching for alternatives to this expensive investment, and are now turning to the inflatable fishing boat, also known as the fishing kayak.
Kayak fishing has grown in popularity for individuals that enjoy the peace and tranquility of their favorite fishing spots, which allow them to get away from the traditionally hectic areas that attract the large amounts of fishermen and women. These congested areas such as the large lakes and rivers, bring many sport fishing boats that are bulky, noisy, and in most cases they smell of gas and oil.
With many inflatable boats and catamarans that can easily set-up in minutes, the fisherman can quickly stroll down their newly found winding trails, and hit their secret spots in no time to enjoy the un-chartered territories that supply unlimited fish resources.
The angler has much more on their catch agenda, and as the sport fisherman becomes more in tune with his/her environment, it only makes sense that obtaining a watercraft that is safe and non-polluting to our world is an added bonus.
Many inflatable fishing vessels are lightweight and only require a small electric motor to navigate through the water. This keeps the lakes clean, and offers you the added flexibility to get to your recreational fishing area quickly, so you can take advantage of the surplus of fish available!
Sports Fishing Should Be Fun And Affordable, Not A Second Mortgage!
Unless you're a professional, and you enter many sport fishing tournaments, we believe that most individuals want to enjoy themselves without having to pay thousands of dollars for sports related boats that are only for entertainment.
Online Outfitters have taken the time to cater to this type of boat fishing need! They have designed many inflatable-fishing boats that range from small dinghies to large catamaran boats that can carry many persons and gear. Depending on what you're looking for, these boats are all made with rugged materials, and can be customized with all the top fishing accessories to make your angling experience the most enjoyable on the waters.
If you're really serious about getting your hands on one of these fishing vessels, you can easily go online and search for your desired boat in minutes. Once you have chosen the right one that fits your style and budget, the next step is to get more information, or take advantage of the online inflatable boat supplier's trial period.

Fishing boats have come a long way since the days when you had to purchase the large metal or wood boat with the massive gas guzzling motors attached.
Now even though these boats are still popular, some fishing enthusiasts are searching for alternatives to this expensive investment, and are now turning to the inflatable fishing boat, also known as the fishing kayak.
Kayak fishing has grown in popularity for individuals that enjoy the peace and tranquility of their favorite fishing spots, which allow them to get away from the traditionally hectic areas that attract the large amounts of fishermen and women. These congested areas such as the large lakes and rivers, bring many sport fishing boats that are bulky, noisy, and in most cases they smell of gas and oil.
With many inflatable boats and catamarans that can easily set-up in minutes, the fisherman can quickly stroll down their newly found winding trails, and hit their secret spots in no time to enjoy the un-chartered territories that supply unlimited fish resources.
The angler has much more on their catch agenda, and as the sport fisherman becomes more in tune with his/her environment, it only makes sense that obtaining a watercraft that is safe and non-polluting to our world is an added bonus.
Many inflatable fishing vessels are lightweight and only require a small electric motor to navigate through the water. This keeps the lakes clean, and offers you the added flexibility to get to your recreational fishing area quickly, so you can take advantage of the surplus of fish available!
Sports Fishing Should Be Fun And Affordable, Not A Second Mortgage!
Unless you're a professional, and you enter many sport fishing tournaments, we believe that most individuals want to enjoy themselves without having to pay thousands of dollars for sports related boats that are only for entertainment.
Online Outfitters have taken the time to cater to this type of boat fishing need! They have designed many inflatable-fishing boats that range from small dinghies to large catamaran boats that can carry many persons and gear. Depending on what you're looking for, these boats are all made with rugged materials, and can be customized with all the top fishing accessories to make your angling experience the most enjoyable on the waters.
If you're really serious about getting your hands on one of these fishing vessels, you can easily go online and search for your desired boat in minutes. Once you have chosen the right one that fits your style and budget, the next step is to get more information, or take advantage of the online inflatable boat supplier's trial period. This offer is very rare in the retail outfitter industry, and if you can find a local company willing to do this, jump on the chance to take one out and give it a try.

UK Marinas
By Simon White
What is a Marina? If you are thinking of buying a boat, you'll need somewhere to moor it and to keep it maintained.
What you may find in a Marina:
Re-fuelling, washing and repair facilities, ship chandlers, shop, restaurant, car parks, out-of-water storage and boast hoists.
Boats in marinas are moored on buoys or floating walkways. Buoys are cheaper to rent but less convenient than being able to walk from land to boat. Harbor shuttles, known as "water taxis", may be available for transfers between shore and boat.
Marinas will charge fees for most services. Parking, picnic areas, pub and restaurants, and showers, are usually included as part of a long-term rental package.
A Marina could be owned and operated by a private club, such as yacht clubs. They are usually located along the banks of rivers connecting to lakes or seas and may be inland, sometimes up to as much as twenty-five kilometres' from the river's mouth.
Here are some popular marinas in the UK: Brixham Harbour, Devon Brixham Harbour is located on the southern aspect of Tor Bay and boasts one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK with nearly 150 vessels, plus a thriving fish market to support it.
Aberystwyth Marina, Wales Boating and sea fishing enthusiasts are poised to explore Wales's West Coast waters and coastal destinations from the new Aberystwyth Marina.
The picturesque harbour of the West Wales seaside town has been dramatically remodelled to provide permanent berths for over 100 vessels, signalling a major boost for the University town and Mid Wales tourism. To celebrate the new Marina many prestigious vessels have visited the Marina including the yacht MAIDEN, famous for its voyages around the world along with the 97 foot Training Ship ROYALIST.
Cobb's Quay, Poole Cobb's Quay is situated at Hamworthy in Holes Bay within Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world. Much of the shoreline is undeveloped and there are many inlets and small islands to explore by boat.
Caley Marina, Inverness, Scotland Situated on the Caledonian Canal in Inverness, this marina offers a perfect place to moor up your boat and take in the sites.
Capital of the Highlands, Inverness is an excellent shopping centre and also boasts the beautiful Eden Court Theatre, a swimming pool and an ice rink. Three and a half miles from Inverness is the site of the Battle of Culloden (1746) where there is also a small exhibition and slide show.
Cowes Yacht Haven, Isle of Wight Cowes Yacht Haven, the world's premier yachting event centre and home to some of the most prestigious yachting events, competitive sailing, leisurely classic boat regattas, power-boating, special events, and much more.
Cowes is also fine destination for the cruising yachtsman and his family, offering excellent facilities, friendly service and a unique atmosphere from the moment you step ashore.
Cowroast Marina, Tring, London The Inland Waterways offer a variety of facilities for the private boat owner but few can match Cowroast Marinas, one on the Grand Union at Tring and its sister, Fenny Marina, on the Oxford Canal. The two centres are ideally placed for mooring in the South Midlands and the South East and offer all the usual services, engineering, slipway, narrowboat brokerage, chandlery, gas, diesel, pump-out and elsan disposal.
If you're looking to buy a boat, check out the listings on sailing-boats-for-sale.com. There are thousands of sailing boats for sale ranging from sailing dinghies to sailing yachts. If you have a sailing boat you want to sell, you can also sell it on sailing boats for sale and avoid expensive brokerage fees.

4 Points to Consider For Building a Small Trimaran With Wood
By Joe Farinaccio
I like small trimarans of all kinds. This means trimarans that are available through commercial purchase or through self-built plans (assuming, of course, good plans are used). This also includes trimarans made using GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) or wood/epoxy.
I'll be covering all types on my blog.
The allure of wood building, however, appeals to many do-it-yourselfers because of the perception that wooden-built boats are always going to be a more inexpensive route to acquiring a tri sailboat in the long run. This isn't necessarily the case though.
Building costs are up nowadays.
Those who build fiberglass boats accurately point out the costs of marine-grade plywood, combined with the generally high cost of epoxy, can put dollar amounts for building with wood on par with fiberglass. Not only that, but when added time and money are factored into the long-term equation for maintenance costs, many home builders lean towards using fiberglass instead of wood.
I understand where they're coming from. All of the facts need to be taken into account. But with these considerations, I'm just going to offer a few more thoughts as to why I'm still attracted to the idea of building small tris with wood. Here are 4 thoughts to weigh in:
-- If we were discussing "big" trimaran sailboats here then you might not be reading this article on wooden boat building. It's not the wood per se, but the task of a "big boat" project is one I probably wouldn't want to tackle by myself (and I have a lot of experience working with wood).
We're not discussing big trimarans though. We're essentially talking about fast, little day boats that provide a lot of fun for single sailors, 2 partners, or a small group. (The notable exceptions are the "weekend" type of boats that include a small cabin in the design plans).
Even though a wooden boat requires more care than a fiberglass one in order to ensure its long-term health, the costs in either time or money aren't going to be huge. A little effort and care can go a long way, especially if you properly store a home-built wooden small trimaran out of the rain and sun.
-- The design options for wood building are good. From the current crop of plans available out there I see very nice design options for smaller trimarans that incorporate wood ... and this refers to some very nice older plans in the marketplace, in addition to the newer ones. Whether you want to go with a tiny boat, or a trailer-able one in the 20-something foot range, there are affordable plans offered by reputable designers readily available.
-- You can probably build a small wooden trimaran a whole lot easier, and in a lot less time, than a fiberglass one. This one is probably the most appealing factor in favor of wood when comparing the different building approaches.
After considering fiberglass requirements for things such as lofting, molds, spray guns, etc., those forums on how to build a wood boat with Stitch and Glue start looking very attractive -- at least to me they do. (Boat builder Sam Devlin provides an excellent S/G summary on his website in case you're interested).
If you've got a lot of experience building with fiberglass already then this may not be the case for you. But overall, I think this would probably hold true for someone that has never build a boat before.
-- You can build cheaply with wood before building a more expensive, polished version with either expensive marine-grade plywood or fiberglass. You might be thinking, "Why do this?" But it may not be a bad idea. Why not do something like this ... especially for a small sailboat?
You can purchase some plans for a small trimaran you're pretty sure you want at this point, and then build a "cheaper" version of it using low-grade woods and other materials so you can decide if you REALLY like it. What I'm talking about is essentially building a full-scale model of a boat you don't need to worry about making perfect.
You could build one that provides some sailing fun in order to test things out ... before shelling out more dollars for the highly-involved project. In addition, you can get some real-world boat building experience under your belt and become very familiar with the boat you've imagined you really want in the process.
One boat builder discussed this idea during a recent interview (currently featured as a download from our site). In my opinion, this expert really put things into perspective when it comes to building boats with wood - including small trimaran sailboats.

Launching and Loading Your Boat
By Davin Kinsler
Have you ever been ready to launch or load your boat but the person in front of you was taken forever to finish and get out of the way? I am dedicating this article to the inexperienced boater . We usually in the boaters community have a tight knit amongst each other. There is an code that we help one another when they are in need, but we seem to loose our patience when it comes to someone taking to long to launch or load their boat. I am taken it upon myself to let you know what you should be doing while waiting for others, and instruct you how to quickly get done when it is your turn. When you approach the boat ramp you may have a few people in front of you when you get there. You should use this time to prep your boat for launching. Release all your straps that have the boat secured to the trailer. Put the plug in and double check before you back down you have no idea how many people forget to do this.
Whomever is in the boat for launching should be pumping the gas ball,turning on all electronics, and placing the fishing equipment in the appropriate spots. Make sure you unload everything you need out of the truck and have it put up so everyone can quickly enter the boat and make a speedy departure. I know you normally check your battery before you leave home but check again because sometimes those cables find a way to get loose, and turn on and off all your switches to make sure everything is working. By doing this if there is a problem you can attend to it before you launch your boat and you won't be in the next persons way.
Now all you have to do is back your boat down. This is very simple but some make it harder than it really is. When backing if possible always back to your driver side. Pull up and once your trailer is straight start backing and remember whatever way you turn your wheels the trailer will go the opposite direction. Once you see the trailer going in the direction you want it slowly start turning your wheels in the opposite direction. This will keep you from going to far left or right which in turn will cause you to have to pull up and readjust we want to avoid this if possible.
Once the boat is in the water get it running and move it to the end of the dock so the next person can back down. While you are waiting for the person parking everyone else should already be in the boat. You have had a good day on the water and it is time to go home everybody is trying to leave at the same time so lets get in and out. You need to work as a team when you approach the dock send someone to get the truck while you and others prep the boat to be loaded. While you are waiting take out all the trash,and secure everything for the drive home. When it is your turn to load the boat it is your job to tell the person backing how far they need to come down.
Once you have the trailer in position get the boat started on the trailer once it touches you can then drive it all the way on the trailer . Most trailers guide you up them once you are in the correct position. Secure your trailer strap to the boat and pull out. Once you are out make sure you pull up far enough to let the next person get his boat. Remove your plug,do a walk around to make sure the boat is on straight, and remove any weeds if possible. Hopefully this will help you to improve your launch and load time.
