[quote=MN3]i used a "milk crate" on my h16 rear beam
I bungeed it to the tramp and had a throw able cushion/pfd on top of it to aviod scratching or rubbing around (actually required gear on every boat in the usa) . then bungeed the mast down using the tramp laces as an anchor point
the crates would last a few seasons (fl sun kills everything), and when not in use, i stored my bungees and tie down straps in it on the beach
I would change one thing:
IMHO
I suggest every sailor Learn how to Tie KNOTS! bungees have[b] no place[/b] in securing a boat or mast
(I have lost a mast off a trailer that was secured with a bungee - It hit a parked car window /
could have/would have killed a person if things happened just SLIGHTLY differently)
HOWEVER - every other cat i have owned: I turn the boat around (for easier stepping) and trailer sterns toward the car. so this moves the mast cradle to front beam - For this i made a cheap cradle with a pvc T and bow stopper
