Someone I know is too cheap/lazy to get a sailbox or van. This person says that it's feasible to tie the boom and sailbag to the tramp and everything will be all right. What does everyo9ne think of this?

I wouldn't call not buying a van cheap or lazy. I wouldn't bust out tens of thousands of dollars to buy a vehicle that's butt-ugly to tow my $1,000 boat.
Wouldn't say not having a catbox is lazy, maybe cheap.
Guess I fall into that camp. But prior to purchasing a larger vehicle, when I towed my H16 with my Firebird, I lashed my rudders, sailbag and boom to the tramp of my H16. As well as a couple of beach chairs. Go figure, never had a problem. Never lost a piece and never damaged my boat. Just use a little common sense while tying down.
