[quote=Andinista][quote=carbonc][quote] If the boat is not moved back the mast holder/winch post impedes raising the bridle and chain plate and you cannot pin the forestay until you move the boat back. [/quote]
This is very much dependent on your specific trailer. I’ve seen many a trailer (and own one myself) that allow for pinning the forestay with the boat in it’s normal traveling position. As a matter of fact every cat on a trailer at a mast up storage location does so without the front bridle hitting the winch pole.[/quote]
I agree, Rungi’s problem is the exception rather than the rule. And don’t forget to secure the boat to the trailer again after moving it backwards. It is probably easy to move that mast support forward, maybe just loosen a couple couple u-bolts.[/quote]
