Searching for a used trailer | Sailing Anarchy Forums
Feb 8, 2024 · The boat in question is 21 feet, 2,000 lbs, 3.75 foot draft. Essentially I need a single axle J/22 trailer preferably with surge brakes. Checked the J/22 Class site, no joy. Tried Google (perhaps my Google-Fu is weak) but did not find any marketplaces like SailboatListings or SailingTexas specifically for trailers.
Double decking dingy trailers - Sailing Anarchy Forums
Nov 3, 2008 · Yea I have a good double deck thistle trailer. The cool part about this trailer is the engineering. You roll one boat onto the trailer on its dolley, then you use the crank at the front of the trailer to crank the whole rig up. After that you slide boat #2 underneath.
Towing with a rental truck? | Sailing Anarchy Forums

I tow mine (2500 lb boat and trailer) twice a year locally with an F150. if you are going long distance they may require a larger truck. When towing from DC to MA they required that I use a 20ft truck to tow that distance. get their insurance and no repercussions
cradle/trailer padding - Sailing Anarchy Forums
Oct 7, 2004 · I have used EVA closed cell foam on small boat trailers and lots of other stuff too with really good success. It is the same stuff windsurfing fin covers are made of - sort of "leathery" and definitely not rigid so it will fit in the contours of trailer bunks, etc.
Henderson 30 Owners - Sailing Anarchy Forums

j22 trailer dimension needed - Sailing Anarchy Forums
May 12, 2022 · Having been helping lift a J80 out the water and the strap broke before the keel cleared the water (not my boat or equipment) the minimum is strap/pad eye shackle etc rated for at least 2x the boat weight.

Hobie 33 actual weight... - Sailing Anarchy Forums
Mar 23, 2005 · Construction trailers, boat trailers, fifth wheels, etc. But I’ve never used a Equalizer hitch. My current truck, a Ford Diesel 250 HD 4x4, with a tow rating of 14,700 large, bucks with road imperfections even with the Hobie 33 on back. Damn stiff rear springs. It gets tiring after 300 or so miles, and it can’t be good on the boat.

Shipping my boat (Catalina 30) - Sailing Anarchy Forums
May 19, 2010 · 9500 sounds like a dedicated load. A Cat 30 can go "2 up" with another boat (bows overlapped on the trailer) in a consolidated load. If you give a hauler some schedule slack and advance notice, you can save about 30%. But, as other have said, unless this boat is truly important to you, a sell east-buy west trade is probably the cheapest option. IB
