Why you should keep the trailer strap connected until the boat is IN the
water:

An obvious player in this scenario is the bizarre and extreme angle of
the boat ramp. Wonder what the designer was thinking?

I've seen ramps like that before. Not optimal, but the designer was
probably compromising for all factors -- tide range, available real estate,
need for parking, etc.

What was the boat owner's excuse? :-)

Some one stole his truck and trailer out from under him!

Well, that's the considerate response in the normal course of events, but
the bottom line is that you just have to be smarter than the boat and the
concrete. :-)

Looks just like the ramp we have here in Suisun City...What is so "Bizarre"
about it? When you have tides the angle of the ramp is VERY important.

That ramp doesn't look any steeper then the typical ramps they have out here
in the California Delta.

That ramp is far from steep. It's actually a pretty decent grade.

I tend to agree.

There is a ramp at Delaware City, Del., that's one of the worst I've seen.
It's about ten feet below street level, so you are backing down this steep
incline from the street level. I don't know what angle actually is, but,
viewed from the water, it looked about 70 degrees (grin). It was probably
more like 20.

Normal Northern California ramp at the lake or ocean. 10' below the road?
Oroville, where I spent the 4th is down about 60'. so the ramp is long
enough to pull down and do a U-turn and not too fast, so you do not roll.
Is a 9 land ramp, so lots of room.
