No.22 Haulout on a shallow slipway Shrimper goes back on her trailer and out of the water eventually.
Morning Vicar gets pulled out of the water at the end of the season but not before we get a lesson in UV degradation.

Very smooth operation. We leave the barnacles on all winter, the rain kills them and they fall off by spring.

Interesting to see how a small front wheel drive car pulls a larger trailer sailer from the water. Rear wheel or 4*4 is best for such a job but you did it. Well done!

We have used the towing strops a lot to launch and retrieve. It can always be an exciting time. I like the fresh water hose bibb flush on the hubs, that is really nice.

Yeah the flush is a must for any trailer sailor, quite cheap to do as well. Thanks for watching.

I have the same shenanigans with my newly acquired cape cutter 19 which is an original South African (Mk1) model with a twin axle trailer (unlike the newer Honor Marine Uk built boats with a lower single axle trailer, which allow easier launch/recovery from a slipway). My sailing club insists that we chock the trailer wheels when detaching the trailer from the car on the slipway in case the brakes fail! We also have a long dolly extension bar to allow for deeper keeled boats to be launched. Simply a very long narrow trailer with a tow hitch at the rear. This of course introduces a second articulation point making it more challenging manoeuvring in reverse. My trailer winch came with a cable which I don’t trust and which I’m about to replace with a strap. I’m concerned in case it snaps and recoils causing injury. I’ve used a stout mooring strop attached to the front of the trailer in the past which has worked well for getting the trailer in deeper. Thankfully I don’t suffer with wheel spin with my VW Tiguan but I have had to replace the clutch prematurely! Thanks for posting your videos. I’m enjoying them very much…The shrimper is quite similar to my boat albeit a gaff sloop instead of a gaff cutter. The CC19 Association have a few videos up, but it’s lacking the content such as yours. It’s crying out for redress so I may have to post some stuff myself. Fair winds… Steve (Cape Cutter 19 #11 ‘Bandoola’)

Thanks for the video & I'm glad you had an excellent season. I had a paddle log on my previous boat & I hated how the briney poured in when endeavouring to control the panic while clapping on the temporary plug before cleaning it. I avoided this terror on my current boat by installing a NASA GPS log, wired in to a Standard Horizon VHF radio with GPS connectivity. Oh the smugness - it's overwhelming at times. Chin-chin

Thanks for watching. Don't worry, i have a GPS log as well. I keep the paddle wheel because its integrated into the NASA duet depth/log unit and sometimes its nice to know how fast you're moving through the water. I tried the quick switcharoo with the transducer and cap once. never again!

I’ve never seen a hub flush before. It is a brilliant idea but where can it be bought and fitted?

@Morningvicar 7 ай бұрын

Hi. Thanks for watching. Most trailer manufacturers will fit them as an option and kits are widely available from them to retrofit. Eg A single axle kit is around £50 from SBS
