I did consider that when it was first mentioned (by you I think, BK), but I've decided to jump up quite a bit from the rated 1100kg (weighed in at 1220kg, ahem) to 1800kg in order to accommodate any...

Thanks for that, it's what I thought and I prefer the single axle for the reasons you've just confirmed.

I'm hoping to get the gravel tarmac'd to match the rest of the drive and make it easier -...

The driveway!

As clarification, here's the driveway and temporary "track" I have to cope with when putting the boat away. It's all done by hand as there isn't enough room off the drive to back in with a large...

Does it work when the boat is on it too? I have to push it straight down the drive then turn it round a corner to tuck it down the side of the garage over a patio stone track.

If you go on a public road then the law applies whether it's for 100 yards or 100 miles I'm afraid.

I'm not sure about cradles but you'd like to think the operators are covered & legal as their...

Yup, that's towing! Lol. In a nutshell trailers over 750kg must be braked and the total weight of any trailer when fully loaded must be below it's plated GVW.

And then you add in the maximum...

Incidentally, has anyone found problems manoeuvring. Twin axle trailer around by hand?

I can't reverse it onto my drive due to room so have to unhitch and push it. I've heard they're hard to...

Hi Michael,

that sounds a very tempting offer! I'm not able to call just at the minute but I should be able to later.

I see from your link that you have a depot in Gosport, is that still the...

Mildly annoyed!

With all the talk about trailer weights, etc. a wave of "doing the right thing" struck me, so I've just taken the boat down to the weighbridge.

Despite being plated for 1100kg the entire kit...
