Hi Boaties. Finally, I have created the video many have been asking for during my RST courses, on how I launch and retrieve my boat. Of course there are other ways to do it, but this method works for me in all scenarios-good ramps, swelly conditions, shallow beaches, mud banks, soft sand, etc. Enjoy!
