I've learned a lot since my first post (this) and I'm now planning my summer holiday.
I'm planning to head down to Devon for some boating. The slipway I will be using (Hope Cove) is concrete, before becoming hard sand (according to the RNLI).. quite a lot of hard sand in fact.. about 400 metres at low tide...
So my question is simple; with speedboat on rear, and multi-purpose tyres fitted, what gears should we be using? Any P38 tricks for driving on sand?

Yeah tbh I'm not expecting any problems (so long as it doesn't get wet!) - I'll have the waffle boards handy though.. just in case
Traction control will do its job I presume?
I just called the RNLI station there to ask about it, apparently they use a standard 110 for their ribs, so should be fine

BeCM is under the drivers seat...if when getting your boat out of the water you get that wet you've reversed to far and it is time to call the RNLI back again....
I never used to get the car near the water when I had my boat. I had a winch bolted to a spare ball hitch, I used to unhitch the trailer, attatch the winch cable, release the brake and wind the rig down into the water.
