To be more accurate I probably should have said: The system would be very difficult to employ in the situation where the tide change is at its highest rate [remember the rule of twelves?] and dropping on a beach that has little slope. I believe you would be chasing the water so much there would be little time to pack. That certainly was my experience in Glacier Bay with a sixteen foot total tide change on one trip there. We floated the doubles and then packed them. By the end of the packing process the poor boat loaders [I was lucky/smart enough to be a boat holder] were running a quarter mile with the gear. Wisely choosing to sling carry the boats after that, everything was simpler and easier.
