Reply to: Sizing trailer

[quote=Dogboy]Looks like a pretty standard trailer setup to me. Maybe spread the crossbars a little farther apart front-to-back, but I don't really see anything out of line. I would say there's pretty much no way those cracks at the bow have anything to do with trailering loads. The tip of the bow sees basically zero load on the trailer (maybe if you had some cracks back by the crossbar that could make the trailer setup suspect, but not up at the tip of the bow). My guess is that there's a bulkhead or other reinforcement in the bow near the bow tang and that's creating a hard spot in the hull causing the paint/gelcoat to crack as the hull flexes under (sailing) load. I think every boat I've owned has eventually developed some degree of minor gelcoat cracking. I wouln't worry about this unless the cracks grow significantly or the boat starts taking on water. sm[/quote]
