Grey Seal

Received my new trailer this week and tried the boat on it. I’ll have to take it ack for some minor adjustments but overall I’m pretty happy. First time my boat has been out of the shed. Next time will be for launching but don’t ask me when that’ll be.

Here’s a couple more pics of trailer. The people who built the trailer put the angled sliders on which although I haven’t tested them for recovery in a crosswind seem a great idea, they are very slippery and would feed keel onto rollers pretty well. You can also see the foldaway extension drawbar which adds about 1.6 metres so I can avoid filling the car boot. As you can see I’m going to need a fair depth to get boat on/off. That football shaped thing is the breakaway brake booster which law says I need cos I’m over 2 tonnes. It activates brakes if trailer becomes detached from car ��
