Reply to: P16 - installing bridle on front crossbar

Message body

[quote=westmatt][quote=Andinista][quote]

My tramp (not a P16) has a grommet very close to the mast step, I have a loop of line around the front beam at the mast step for that purpose.Edited by Andinista on May 03, 2023 - 04:28 PM. [/quote]

I like the grommet/line around the crossbar idea, and I do have rollers on the trailer.  Easy and will work fine - thanks for the idea.

[quote=shortyfox]Let's keep it simple.  Put the boat on the trailer backwards.  You'll need a mast support bolted to the trailer tounge (I didn't see one in the pic) and you'll mount the winch on that just a little above the height of the boat, so it lifts a little when you're cranking it up.  Problem solved.  Doing it this way has the added bonus of making it so much easier when you step the mast alone because the mast can function as your second person.  By the way, that's the coolest looking P16 I've ever seen![/quote]

The boat in the pic IS super cool looking, but not mine (if that was the assumption).  I considered trailering backwards, but if the mast falls, I'd rather it fall away from my vehicle.

thanks for the ideas.
