DD has a Topper - we need a launch trolley

But it must be super light as DD is 10 & I have very weak arms

Any ideas?

use plastic pipes to form a kind of rectangleish shaped thing

dd wheels on either side and then use rope with pipes along it (only 1 or 2) to go between the rectangle to hold the boat in a kind of cradle

Sounds good

Can you buy one or is there a plan anywhere to make it?

That looks cool - I have sent it to my dad to see if he can make it or if he might buy it for us.......I am a cheat

Thanks that looks great

I am at the sailing club later today - so I will ask around & phone that ad if I get no-where

At least I know what I am looking for now

Never mind

No spares down at the club

But DD managed to maneuver the boat on a borrowed trolley so that was good

oh dear

glad your dd managed to get on the water

try local club websites if you have the time

We didn't actually sail - she just had a go at pulling-pushing a topper on a trolley like the one you showed me
