[Paddlewise] Side drop launch

"...a "Side Drop".  I am not confident that my North American made
kevlar boat would survive such a launch. Maybe it can only be done in
British boat? Has anyone ever tried such a launch?"
The side drop looks like a recipe for boat damage and paddler injury to
me. Seal launching / landing looks best left to the seals too!
