Yeah, the outhauls are under potentially more tension.

Do you have a history of popping them apart?

There's another recent thread for that one. Search "seitech dimensions". It works fine but I prefer this one. Easier to build and use.

you wouldn't want to bounce the hull on the dolly. This is used for ramp launching only. You could damage the hull if you were too rough with it.

I would not recommend this.

pour gasoline into the mast tube and watch the foam dissolve

Buy a bag of zip ties, they work fine.

Built another dolly, which works better for me. Much easier to maneuver, and was built with scrap lumber and two purchased non-swiveling casters.

one cut takes the sailcloth off the spars, in the case of the marlin hitch setup.

Sure I think you could. I wanted some type of rope so it's more adjustable.

sailed today and no issues at all with a zip tie for every grommet and paracord for outhauls. I left them about as loose as the sail rings (eyeball)

Trash picked a beach cart with solid plastic wheels that were on a quarter inch steel axle. Drilled a slightly smaller hole through the stern rail and drove them in. Could be a little stronger but seems strong enough if I stand on it.

Can be done to this point with 2 10' 2x4s I plan to add solid lawnmower wheels and a top strap It's heavy but beats spending $400 in my opinion Wheel beam 48" Rear 45° risers holding the strap 14.5" Making the top width 55" Long beam 95" Front handle riser on 45° 17" Long-beam holder v-shape...

Rather than buy the sail rings, I am wondering if anyone condones using zip ties. They would be plenty strong, I think.
