12' tongue extension for beach launches?
Not sure how much a Snipe is supposed to weight, but I know the GP14 is 300#. When chatting with the GP14 sailors over in England (where it's still a pretty big class) they were kinda amazed/horrified that we launch from the "road trailer" instead of from a "launching dolly." Of course, they also have more combo-trailers over there, where the launching dolly docks onto the road trailer. Over here, it's more common to see people using Seitech or Dynamic launch dollies for Lasers and Sunfish. I have launched my Force 5 from the road trailer, but would be much happier to get a launch dolly for it... Also, it's easier to transfer a boat from road trailer to a launch dolly if you're at a regatta with other skippers who would help lift the boat onto the launch dolly. For a Snipe, probably not so easy for a single person to transfer.
