Of course it could be chaffing from all the tie down ropes I use

Looks like its cut itself shaving with all the little bits on it

It involved bowlines, round turns and two half hitches, and even a rolling hitch, and lots of them.

Didn't manage to get a double sheet bend in there, all my bits of string were long enough without joining any

used to tie ours down very effectively with a ratchet from either towing eye diagonaly down to the oposite side of the trailer, and one from the bow eye down to the trailer. Job done. took about 5 mins max

+1 3 ratchet straps cut to correct length, takes 5 mins and boat is secure to the trailer, and jsut as quick next time you launch

= 1 fro 2 x rear ratchet straps, from transom eyes to trailer, and 1 from front bow eye to trailer + safety chain to snubber post, all cut to length makes securing boat a simple /safe task

cut with hot knife makes job neat n tidy - I know some folk think what if i need it bigger - buy another strap I say!

Nearly there

Thats exactly how I tie mine to the trailer, however you must remember to check webbing regularly, as it can fray and get weak quite quickly.

Everything is ginger. Lovely new trailer turned up here this afternoon for this boat

Is it a JS05?

[chris.moody]

No it's a Rollercoaster Swing Mini. I purchased it brand new from Trailer Guy. If anyone needs a new trailer give him a call

If you want an old trailer I have one that fits a 4m rib with new winch, new jockey wheel, and good bearings (longest trip on that trailer last year was Largs to Southampton). It will be going up for sale next week.

New gelcoat, new trailer and a new engine to be fitted too in the near future, I understand?

You, Chris Caton, Colcreate, myself and anyone else out there with a shiny refurbished SR (Anchor Handler?) will have to get together for an SR porn session this summer - perhaps with the MacRib winner?

Bring it on

[biffer]

[biffer]

Trailer needs adjustment,won't touch that till the motors on
