Should I be connecting to the dolphin striker of my Nacra 5.2 to pull the boat up a boat ramp with rollers, or will this damage the boat? Is there a better location?

Id put a line between the bridal anchors and pull from there rather than the dolphin striker.

Front beam! Try not to pull on the dolphinstriker, it's really not meant to be pulled laterally, same goes for the bridal anchors. You should have a space at each side of the front beam between the hull and tramp to attach a rope to.

Regards,
Dave

Feed a line thru the front beam, tie it in a loop and use for towing or pulling.
