    It was around 3-5km from a boat ramp
    I reckon they have deove the boat on the trailer and forgot to tie anything on.
    Even if it was just held by the winch rope and you forgot everything else. It still shouldnt fall off

    Yep probably.....they put the flag on tho by the looks.
    It is surprising how many boats you see only held to the trailer by the winch rope and maybe a safety chain with nothing tieing the boat to the trailer tho.

    not mine, I have seen a 6. something surtees on the ramp here at Nelson off the trailer but still attached to the winch with car and trailer further up the ramp. No safety chain and rachet failure on winch. Looked nasty really felt for the guy who owned it. No one needs that

    Yesterday coming in in the dingy to rocky point at Monaco I see an older fiberglass boat beached with the stern very low in the water,bildge pump on, bloke and his missus bailing it out.....didnt have the heart to take a photo but clearly a launched without bung in.

    Our winch rope on a 2 year old Surtees has broken at least half a dozen times, and a Surtees weighs a fraction of a Haines Hunter. But it's always strapped down plus a chain/d shackle
