Tips for preparing the SB20 prior to trailing:
Please note:
This is a guide to assist you in preparing your boat for trailing; it is not a guide to the legal
restrictions and laws covering the towing your boat. It is the responsibility of the persons
towing to ensure that they comply with the legal requirements for the countries which the
trailer will be utilised.
•
The mast should not overhang beyond the legal limits at the rear.
•
Remove chocks or raise trailer supports before towing
•
When securing the mast to the mast supports keep the spreaders
facing down and ensure that there is enough slack in the standing rigging to enable
the mast to sit on the rear support without putting strain on the spreaders.
•
Ensure that everything is secure in the boat.
•
When securing the boat to the trailer, put the straps under the granny
rails and not over the top of them.
•
Do not tow with the keel in the raised position or it will swing and cause
damage to the keel and hull.
•
Secure the keel fore and aft to stop it moving in the event of a sudden
stop.
•
Pack the keel box to stop the keel moving during transit.
•
When towing with the cover on, put the tie down straps on underneath
the cover and the strong back mast support on top of the cover.
