[quote=Edchris177][quote] I notice you don't have the trampoline on[/quote]
It was off for the photo where the rig is attached to my van. The main needed replacement,(shipped from the manufacturer in 3 days, $525 USD), & i wasn't sure about a 500km trip on an Interstate style highway, so they were removed.
Some of the other photos showed the previous owner trailering with both main & front tramp installed. He towed using just a mid-sized Subaru car, without issue, though his route was fairly heavily treed.
That trailer has a pretty wide track, but if I were in Southern Alberta, during a strong Chinook wind, I think I would hesitate.
The C of G is OK, that fibreglass sail box & other gear weigh more than the hulls/beams, & the trailer itself is fairly heavy, even being aluminum.
I agree, if I had to remove the tramp each time, I would never buy one. The 10' beam makes it very difficult for a single person to install, as you can't reach to feed & pull.
With the electric winch, I could raise the mast & rig solo.<em>Edited by Edchris177 on Apr 06, 2018 - 05:22 PM.</em> [/quote]
