ABSTRACT:
The present dolly for catamarans has soft-walled, inflatable tires which expand axially under load to keep the load pressure on each tire not more than 2 psi where the tire tread engages the ground. Self-lubricating needle bearings are engaged between each ground wheel and a hollow axle. The axle is covered by rubber sleeves axially outboard of the tires. Annular hull chocks are attached to the opposite ends of the axle, and each chock has a convex inboard face which is covered with outdoor carpeting. A flexible line extends through the axle and beyond the axle at each end for releasable attachment to the catamaran hulls.
