Trailer Sailer Towing

admin — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 09:12:37 +0000

I have recently purchased a small trailer sailer, boat length 17′ 0″ The previous owner had the mast unstepped and laid on top of the boat with approximately equal lengths overhanging front and back. The mast is about 25′ 0″. Is there any reason I can’t trail the boat with the mast lowered but still stepped in the tabernacle? Obviously the mast would overhang the rear of the boat by about 15′ 0″ with this arrangement. I can find nothing in the towing regulations against this.

Many thanks Mike Marshall

I have nic 26 and she does sail like a dream. Can anyone tell me what the mast height is and also her handicapp (sorry if spelling is wrong). Would that be the same as the contessa 26?

Hi,

I wondered if you know a contact address for David Thomas. I want to find a set of plans for the inboard engine on a hunter impala, and I believed he, being the designer sold copies as required.

Thanks

C Roberts

Vega 18 trailer sailer

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:11:35 +0000

I have a vega 18 trailer sailer which is fibreglass and i have a problem with the swing keel, it seems to slap from side to side in the keel box. I have been unable to get any drawings or information regarding the layout of the keel and I would be very grateful for any information you can give.

Thanks in hope! Rob Michalski
