Boat Launching Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
 

So here it is.

Being new to NZ and the city of sails, Jane and I just bought a new boat and decided to take her for the maiden voyage this past weekend.

This is my first boat and I wasn't quite sure of the exact Standard Operating Procedures for launching it off a ramp, but being an engineer, I figured it couldn't be too hard.

I consulted my local boat dealer for advice, but they just said "don't let the trailer get too deep when you are trying to launch the boat".

Well, I don't know what they meant by that as I could barely get the trailer in the water at all!

Anyhow, here's a picture below. See for yourself. What am I doing wrong?








We're here for a good time...Not a long time
