Tom,
The side by side design, while feasable and allowing one person to load/unload, may get you in trouble with DOT unless you are careful in your design. Any trailer over 80" wide requires extra lighting and usually can be no wider than 102". Two Sunfish side by side are about 98". Parking a wide trailer can be a pain also. In the Tips and Tricks section of the Class Home page are some suggestions for multible trailers. Also the last article under Bishops FAQs has info reguarding cradles for a SF. Another sailor used garage door track mounted on the center line to slide his two SF (hanging from the track) in and out. It was posted in the old SF Forum a long time ago and I will e-mail you the the picture (can't get it to upload here). Trailex Trailers (Aluminum Trailers - Trailex, Inc.) also has pictures of dble rigs on their web site. Tall trailers, with high center of gravities, can also turn over pretty easy. Tails of woe can be found on the Laser sites and also some ideas. Do a web search for Lasers (Dr. Laser and Rooster are two).
Danpal, ok here goes:Tag, when you created the box for your trailer it looks like you have cross pieces that are nailed in the middle of the box. Did you just use 2x4s? Also, did you only use metal straps to attach the box to the frame?
That's also on my list... wondering if the A-frame can be attached with just 1 or 2 bolted connections at the base of each A-frame leg to quickly unbolt the upper A-frame portion and lift it off leaving just the box portion.Now I just have to figure out how to make the conversion between utility and sunfish transport easier.
Tongue weight limits embossed right into the rear bumper-top padding...Trailers should never have negative tongue weight! ("Heavy" is OK). I think the floor is overbuilt (with 2x), but that does permit the option of "utility" use. Considered the use of [flexible] Trex under the lighter Sunfish?
