Fellow catsailors: I recently bought an H14 Turbo and I'm fairly new to sailing cats. I'm attempting to sail on Lake MI in the Mich City area. I had 2 q's in regard to beach wheels transport and coming about.

With regard to beach wheels, I do not have cradles, and have scoured the internet for instructions or tips on easy transport. I am having a hell of a time moving the h14 from beach > water with 2 people. What is the secret, and is it feasible to transport it just on my own? I am moving it roughly 50 feet.

Also, in regard to coming about, as the sail catches the wind from the other direction, what is the secret to NOT getting the tiller extension in the way of the main sheet sliding along the traveler track? What am I doing wrong here?

I've found this forum useful and have been lurking for a while, but any help for this newbie would really be appreciated as I learn to sail by trial & error! Thanks!
