Jan 22. Launch and Recover on the Lawn

I have no photos or video of this, but the ultimate test of a boat trailer is to launch and recover the boat from the lawn. And this trailer does work that well. I was a bit afraid because I'm not sure of the holding abilit of the paints eye, and the winch strap gets pretty taught pulling the boat up the inclined trailer. If that thing were to detach, it would launch straight into my face. 

The "incline":  when launching and recovering from the grass, the trailer must be detached from the vehicle to let the tongue rise enough to let the trailer tail come near the ground, as if it were angled down to the water at a boat launch.
