Trailering your WindRider 17 Trimaran
1. With your mainsail down, float the boat onto the trailer, using care to assure all four trailer
slides are on the trailer rails.
2. Use the winch as needed to pull the boat forward to the mast stand, and secure bow with a
line.
3. Search ramp area for power lines and use caution to avoid them.
4. Pull the boat/trailer into a clear area, with at least 12 feet of open area behind the boat.
5. Lower the mast as described previously.
6. Loosen the trampoline lines.
7. Tie crossbeams down to trailer.
8. Remove aka lock pins from crossbeams.
9. Working from the center of the outrigger (at the inspection port) lift the outrigger slightly and
begin to slide inward. It is important to find the touch for sliding both crossbeams inboard
together.
10. When beam is slid in, make sure aka locks are back in holes provided, which will prevent the
beam from sliding further in or out.
11. Repeat on the other side of boat and finish tying down.
The outer corners of your trampolines can remain laced for local trips to the boat ramp, but on
highway trips they will flap in the wind and may be damaged. To prevent flapping, unlace the outer
two corners of each tramp and roll the tramps inboard, keeping the tramp lines protruding from the
ends of the roll. Once the roll is against the hull, wrap the tramp lines twice around the roll and then
tie the bundle to the beam gusset plate. This will hold the tramp rolled tightly along the hull for
highway trips.
