Good Morning!
I recently placed a bid on an ‘05 sunfish sailboat. Once the auction goes off I’ll only have a couple of days to pay and then drive a few hours to pick it up.
Since I’ve never owned a sunfish before, I’m looking for transportation tips and advice. Things like, what’s the best way to tie the boat down to the trailer for a LONG drive back (500 miles). Tips on transporting the spars and mast (should they be in a bag when I transport them, do I store them on the boat during transportation and what’s the best way to do that?).
I also found a trailer for sale which I’m going to check out just before the auction. Do you think this will work for transporting the boat back?
Boat trailer club 420 laser dinghy
(2000 highlander previously used for a “dinghy sailboat club 420”)
Any advice, direction, or informational resources is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
