I haven't tried this yet, but on my 17 I ahve worn through the Gelcoat running up on the beach, and I wondered if I could run a line thru the middle of some boat fenders, and attach a snap shackle or some way to quickly clip the line around a wing frame or something. The idea being you carry two fenders with line on the boat, stop just short of the beach and jump off leaving one end of the line attached to the boat, push the fender under the hull in line with the front crossbar, and clip other end of the line to it's own other end, or the wing frame etc... you could then roll onto the beach if the line would work as an axle. Would it work? I'd like to know! Brian
