oh my goodness, THANK YOU for doing this!! I'm looking at trailer sailing, and have been itching to see the basic process of launching, specifically, when there's no dock(pontoon) nearby. Well done sir(s)!!!

Sharpies are popular for Trailer Sailors. The flat bottom goes on and off the trailer easy. Plus they are fast to sail.

great vid.. PLEASE MAKE MORE and bring back Chris Beeson!!

You've jjust made up my mind. I will save for one more year and get a bigger boat on a swinging moor. I don't want another hernia.

What a beautiful boat !

Noticed the road offence of the trailer carrying a different (and foreign) registration plate to the towing vehicle. Would be handy if the trailer winch could be operated by cordless drill - they have a lot of power these days.👍

nice boat and great tool for beginners to watch

What a lovely trailer yacht. I am always interested how sailors in other countries handle their trailer yachts, and this is very different to how we do things in Australia. We have a lot of electricity lines near boat ramps down here so be sure to "look up and live". Perhaps a Powerwinch Model 912 (or similar) could be a option for customers? Is the mast carbon? Water ballast is so practical for trailer yachts too. What a great looking yacht - well done Swallow Yachts.

Yes! More Chris beeson

Very very beatiful!

An excellent launching and recovery video by Yachting Monthly. Would recommend to all budding trailer sailors!

Nice video, well explained, liked the part about reversing down the slipway. I personally back up the trailer a little more into the water and test run the engine (diesel inboard) before letting the boat free... Also meanwhile testing the engine the boat sits almost all submerged in the water and i can check any leaks (shaft, drains, depthfinder...) Regarding lifting the mast, the Polish boatbuilders have an excelent system for that...

Cool boat and trailer

Very educational

Thnx for infos reg. this smart boat.

Good video.

I just put the light board on the transom of the boat.. Its higher and much easier for following vehicles to see. . Certainly prevents the need for sliding bars etc.

We own/sail a Hartley ts16,the original trailer sailor.towed by average 4 cyl. car and sleeps two in its cabin.loving the life style.Great informative video,Love your yacht.What make is she?

She is a beautiful boat to be sure. Do you build a keel version?

Can you fit it on a shipping container?
