Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I'm looking for input and experience on launching and retrieving a sailboat with a gross weight around 3000lbs (trailer included), with a 2016 Subaru 2.5l outback.
I'm in the process of purchasing a trailer sailor to keep dry docked at the local yacht club until a slip becomes available (prob a year or two). I'm probably looking at something along the lines of an ODay22 or MacGregor 25. A buddy of mine will transport the boat to the yacht club but I am planning on launching it and retrieving it daily with my 2016 2.5l outback locked in 1st gear. Total distance from launch to parking spot is about 300ft.
Does anyone have any experience using an outback
