Folks,
I am contemplating purchase of a 1985 Etap 23. Critical to my needs is
ease of recovery onto the trailer since the craft will be based on
land. I have test sailed the craft and am very happy with its on-water
comfort and performance. Unfortunately, the trial recovery I attempted
was unsuccessful due to:
- Launching used was not purpose built. More of a winter cradle
trailer. (I am happy to invest in a more suitable trailer if I know it
work well).
- The slipway was very steep.
* Can anyone comment on the ease of recovery onto a decent trailer?
* What tips do you have for recovery in a cross wind on an open
slipway?
Thanks-Ken

Oops, please make that:
- Launching trailer used was not purpose built.
^^^^^^^
Cheers-Ken
