Scarlattikvarten - Launching, rigging and trailering

Trailer

Scarlattikvarten spends the winters on a custom-made trailer. The total tow weight of trailer with boat is between 1000 and 1100 kg so she isn't hard to tow behind a mid-size car.

Detail of hull support of trailer Here is a close-up of the cradle in which the hull rests. This big one is located right under the dagger board case. The centre of gravity of the hull is only slightly forward of this position. Further forward there is a smaller cradle. Both cradles are of GRP and are padded.
