Tractor launching at Lancelin
Submitted by Toby Roe on Fri, 2013-05-24 13:56
A mate and I are thinking of heading to Lancelin for a weekend with his 23ft fibergalss boat. Unfortunately, neither of us is confident to beach launch his boat. I have seen a tractor launching bigger boats on previous trips up there. Does anyone know if the tractor launch is a business (i.e. can get the bloke to launch and retrieve the boat) and, if so, what his contact details are?
Cheers

Toby there used to be a guy
Toby there used to be a guy up there who pulled people out when they got in trouble and could also put in for a fee but not sure if he still does it.
Be careful trying to launch with a 4x4 as it can be a real dog. Even with a tractor we have had issues at times with surge and weed under the sand
