Soft sand

I would like to move my boat across some very soft sand, about 10m, to be able to launch. I have a Nissan Navara with front tow bar, I get 2m in & the trailer sinks down to the axles. Any suggestion what sort of mat / track would be any good for the trailer & Navara?

flotation tyres possibly have a look at quad trailer wheels and tyres

Old conveyer belt works anything to spread the load

Should be ok as long as it's normal sand i.e. Not not sinking sand, I've drove all along camber sand beach along the waterline in a freelander, I would suggest have a winch or another vehicle ready to pull you out on the first test run
