Another alternative is to simply fit a roof box to the trailer. A Thule Pacific 700 (460 litre) is large enough (and most importantly long enough) to take the sails and all the required kit. I fitted roofbars using U bolts and the box sits neatly underneath the tramp. On the up side the cost is reas...
As a new owner of a Sprint 15 and a newcomer to multi-hull sailing, my son and I decided that rather than just read some books and biff about on the water trying to figure out the differences ourselves, we would take a proper Cat Conversion Course. I am very glad that we did, for while the fundament...
Well the Dart 15 trailer adjusted beautifully to my 15. The adjustable outriggers even had two sets of holes (presumably one for an 18 and one for a 15). With a solid mount for the lighting board the whole thing works very well, and at £250 it's a bit of a bargain. Thanks for the advice everyone.
Thanks Bob, I 'm currently trying to see if a Dart 18 trailer being sold in Lincolnshire will fit. It is a good quality galvanized trailer with extending arms and I have agreed £250 as a price. The problem is that the hulls sit 15 cm lower than the top of the mudguards which are 154 cm apart. At the...
The previous owner of 1683 used about 8 feet of 8mm rope secured with a bowline around the mast step and tucked away in the tramp pocket. This seems sensible, but I note that the Rigging Manual talks about a righting line stored in one of the beams. Is this a better solution, and if so how is the ro...
I notice from our For Sale link/ scroll down to miscellaneous items, that a Dart 15 road trailer has been posted for sale. (Yesterday). Thanks Andrew, I had seen that advert and already corresponded with the seller. Unfortunately despite it being offered at a great price, I do not believe that trai...
Thanks all. A Dart 15 trailer would certainly be the easier option. Now all I need to do is track a decent one down. At present the only one I can find on the market (other than new) is this one: http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/boat-trailers/catamaran-trailer-18ft-PAA27109 Having emailed the owne...
Hi, I have just bought a 15 (1683) and having got it home on the roof am more convinced than ever that I need to find a road trailer for it. Sprint 15 specific ones seem rather scarce at the moment, with Dart 18 ones seeming to come on the market far more regularly. Whilst some trailers are clearly ...
Just joined the ranks of new Sprint 15 sailors this season with the purchase of 1683, ex-Calshot Cats. Her new home is currently the back garden, but as soon as my son and I get a weekend free she will find herself at Queen Mary.
