Tanzer 16 Dinghy Dock --added a roller--May 1, 2017 Spent all winter (and spring that felt like winter--it has been the wettest winter/spring in 126 years) thinking about how to make the dinghy dock easier to get the 400 lb+ Tanzer up on the bunks. I probably went down and looked at it five times, but couldn't come up with a plan.
Since the boat is going in the water in two days, I finally sucked it up and went down there in the rain with some string, sticks, and a measuring tape. The only improvement I could think of was to add another roller. It's the one with the lighter color wood. Dinked around and determined the height and position of the roller. Then I was able to make it at home.
The roller might be 1/2-inch high (we can remove the spacer between the 2 x 8's if we need to). We won't really know until we pull the boat up on the dock. Wish me luck--oh yeah, they are predicting lightening for our first race on Thursday. Luckily the marina has a bar.
