Our local dam, Theewaterskloof Dam, is now down to only 28% full. To launch boats we have to use one of these extensions. Having said that a few short months ago we could 4x4 across the dam, it's level was so low! Keel boat sailing was all but impossible and dangerous because of tree stumps so its mostly Hobie cats or small dinghies now! They now have a trailer to take the boats down to the "new" waters edge - dolly is useless" and the other photo shows the red line where the water should be. The actual launch slipways has had to be extended. Mostly to retrieve keels boats from their moorings that were getting to shallow!Do you think that one of these might help?
Adding a second swivel point might be tricky when backing up, but if it was added close to the ramp and used to back straight down the ramp, it might be easier than using a chain to lower the boat into the water. Also, the double wheel assembly might be more effective than using the single wheel on the trailer tongue.
What do you all think?

Wish I had some video of it being used... there is definitely a knack to using this kind of trailer hitch extension. The one at the dam is about 6 meters long!
