Flares....

Too many choices…. My trailer came as a package with the RIB and engine when I bought it, so I assume it’s ok not braked?

You have Thankyou...

No my trailer isn't braked. Would that make a difference? I guess it'd be more parts that I wouldn't have looked after in 8 years?

That looks V impressive, bit complex!

How often does the trailer itself have issues? I'm not mechanically minded - the simpler the better! How do you strap the RIB on for long journeys?

That would be handy... I could go off and file my nails, by the time I finish it'll be magically in the water.

Sadly there should be no midges, I go up there in May to avoid the blighters

It was also a bit weedy last year.

I prefer to launch with ropes or winch as I find it more manoeuvrable, especially new slipways……
