G'Day and thanks Doug,

Much appreciated. I've tried the method you suggest for correcting a launch
and it works well. Is it only applicable to a tight cockpit boat? I can
imagine it would be hard to tilt over on the beach otherwise. I'm taking a
trip this week, which may see an opportunity to try the disembarkation.
Another question. Why is the non offside brace side nearest the beach, did I
get that part right?

All the best, PeterO
