<p>For anybody with similar issues, in the end, we put her on wooden blocks and tyres, on a beach, during big tides, then we worked between the tides, on the keels, with fast drying epoxy. Results are good enough (I think ;-) </p>

<p>Great ideas, thanks everyone.</p>
<p>I'm about to embark on a local voyage of discovery, hoping to locate a location nearby to dry her out. Any of the above could turn out to be solutions and I received another tip today... If you place banana trunks, sideways like rollers, over heavy boards, the slippery sap they ooze allows a boat to be dragged easily up the boards... </p>
<p>It would certainly be much more convenient if I can drag her up above the tides. Once I'm organised, I'll post pics…</p>

<p>Log rollers and planks made slippery will do the trick if you use a come-along/Turfer and a bunch of people with some muscle.....I recall moving an Oro (46ft) a fair distance from the water this way</p>

<p>Are there people? A really big group of people could drag/ lift your boat up above high water. Maybe put on some free beer or contact the local church???/ or could you sail to an area where a bit of gear might be available????</p>

<p>Hi Ben, </p>
<p>I'd love to roll the boat up the beach but finding inflatable rollers here would be impossible, and there are no tractors or 4WD's either. I'm in a remote location, Raja Ampat, a group of islands off the North-West tip of Western Papua New Guinea. But thanks for the input. </p>
<p>All the best, </p>

There are these heavy duty inflatable beach rollers, you would need six of them (buy/borrow), and you would use a tractor or 4WD car to slowly pull your Tiki further up the beach. Then you can lift her up as the other suggested.

<p>Interesting product. Think you would need more like twelve. These could be bloody useful for long term cruising where you can end up in no mans land and you have to wing it yourself!</p>

<p>Many thanks Brett, </p>
<p>Great advice, thank you, and you're right, I'm very grateful she only got some 'scratches'. </p>
