Round fence posts won't roll easily on soft sand but will roll easily on other fence posts laid at a 90 degree angle.
Good idea.

Tied was at 2.5 when boat came to rest, normal tied is 2.1, a .4 foot difference. If it is soft sand dig a half foot and float it off. If not soft sand wooded fence post should have no issue rolling it off
If I had to guess, I would say that he is talking about meters not feet.
if it's solid ground with a smooth beach I have seen a guy launch a boat with the trailer still strapped to it and ease out to a remote beach... then drop the trailer at the beach n drag it to a stranded boat n winch it up but not quite all the way... left a little negative tongue weight... then used the other boat to easily drag to the water... snugged up trailer to boat n headed back to the ramp.... I'm NOT saying YOU should do this just that I saw it once... A bit odd but it DID work.... do as you see fit.
