Need Recommendation for Dolly

[bill77056]

A dolly is needed to move the Sunfish up a grass slope.

Is the Seitech at $390 the standard?

Thanks...Bill

Windline (Chicago IL; http://windline.net/) also makes nice dollies and the owner (Dan Feldman) used to be quite active in the Sunfish class. The Windline dolly may be slightly less expensive than the Seitech one; please check for yourself.

Bill - I'm relatively new to the SF scene, but from what I have seen so far....yes the Seitech is the standard. A few weeks ago I went to watch the 2007 Sunfish Southwest Regional Regatta on Lake Canyon - Texas. To a boat, from what I saw, every participant was using the Seitech. (I have a Seitech myself).

If you are at all handy with tools you can build a dolly. I built one out of aluminum tubing that works well. I have also seen them made from PVC pipe.
You can also use wood.

Depending on how steep and how long the slope, the Seitech seems like overkill. There are much less expensive dollies/wheels that can do the job.
I use the simple kayak dolly "Wheel Aweigh" from Davis Instruments.

YES Unless you can find a used one

True; Laser (Seitech) dollies may be easier to find in your neck of the woods.
These dollies are a bit wider, but will carry a Sunfish, although not as nicely as the real thing.

I want to thank all for the response to my dolly post.
