most boats here in Delray drop a block of a bucket of cement in the sand either right below the Dolphin striker or the V in the bridle wires you can do that with the long screws and a crowbar to twist them in. Now I think we had the same storms come through on the beach as you did up north you might have gotten the 50mph pop that we did not though. I have seen a P18-2 lift up and dan and watched the waves come in and pull a TheMightyHobie18 in half from the dolphin striker because it could not move in the wave surge. It is a tragedy when things like this happen those boats are to young to die ,it's always the young! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
