The only drawback being they can only drag up one boat at a time and then take the rope back for the next boat.
Actually that is not true. We often do 3 to 4 boats on one tow.
We tie the line to the centre of the beach dolly axle and leave lots of line at the unsecured end. This can then be tied to next boat. And so on. Basically the only limitation is the number of boats that can be placed in the flat spot in front of the winch.
