  7. Launching & Recovery • More damage occurs to sailing dinghies ashore than on the water • Never step or jump into a boat when on dry land • When moving a dinghy on a trolley, ensure the bow is tied down and if the rudder is fitted it is secured in an up position • When moving a dinghy on a trolley be aware of the overhang of the stern, especially when turning in a crowded boat park. • Consider the mast & overhead obstacles • Do not hoist the main sail when ashore • Float the boat off its trolley, do not push it off. • Once floated, store the trolley where it will not affect other water users or the public. • When beaching a dinghy, pull it clear of the water, so as to avoid the hull grinding on stones or rocks, as the waves/water continuously move it.
