Looks great! Y'all jumped over a bunch of hurdles to get there and we appreciate your sharing the experience. Hope y'all have a great time with the boat, does she have a name yet?
Food for thought, we rig everything on our dolly except raising the sail and popping the rudder down. Roll into the water, slide boat off, park dolly, raise sail, push rudder down and shove off. Very easy, esp if waves are coming in form pontoons, etc...Looks like a hill there, your cast and crew will be happier with a dolly, I know from experience. If you decide to go the dolly route, we can get a new Dynamic Dolly shipped free for $495. Or check CL, and other Forum folks have DIY plans. Keep in mind the Dynamic breaks down easily into 5 parts that would fit in your truck bed.
3 cheers for you sailing family!
