Bought some proper beach wheels:
And built a dolly to fit the boat:
Just made it up on the fly, all nice cedar boards, mahogany ply, epoxy, stainless screws, some Titebond III. The hole in the forward upright is for a line that will attach to the bow cleat on the boat. It has a coat of primer on it. The final coat will be grey Tremclad. The aluminum tube axle has cedar cores glued in so that the ends are solid.
The first iteration was built without the leeboard on the boat. Fortunately, I checked it with the leeboard in, and realized that the crosspiece on this side had to be extended an extra 4" so that the wheel is outside the board.
