No. Everyone I know keeps a line attached to the dolphin striker and stored in a bag on the tramp. When you go ever you must first do all that house keeping, then throw the line over the hull, get yourself situated securely, then fill a couple of black plastic garbage bags (one stuffed inside the other, they're kept in the bag with the line) with water and lift them into your lap. You will probably have to experiment with the right rope length but that should do it. If it doesn't I'd next try taking the mast float off, as Karl suggested.
