    Is yours a geared cycle? I’m pretty sure a cycle frame can carry ~150 kg, but the brakes and your legs might have issues. Like I can carry a 60 kg friend on my (ungeared) cycle on flat roads. But going uphill would definitely be hard, and downhill might be dangerous.

      Yes, I have an 8-speed IGH, and a cargo trailer for my bike that’s rated for 90kg (200lbs). It adds braking distance, but standard rim brakes handle it fine. To haul a Laser sailboat would take a special trailer, because they’re about 4 meters long. It’d be a workout, but eminently possible.
