Alan Slater's A30 Trailer


I have attached two pdf files of sections and elevations that I used to build a trailer this summer. I extracted the dimensions from digital immages of my boat and from patterns taken from the hull to develop the design in Autocad. Do not be concerned by the 1/16th of an inch tollerance of the dimensions, thats what the program produces. They can be rounded off. I am quite pleased how the trailer has ended up, however the boat is not on it until the end of the month. I will be posting the end results after that time.

Here are a couple of pictures of Romp on its rebuilt trailer while bringing it home last week. The original trailer was the same steel chasis with 4 x 4 timber frames between plywood supports, lined with shag carpet. I replaced all the wood with steel supports and adjustable pads. It may be a bit of overkill but it makes the trip home much more pleasant.


Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide cover Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide 4th Edition

My favorite Chesapeake Bay guidebook. While it mentions marinas, it concentrates on anchorages—the kind of places I prefer to spend my time. And in addition to listing shore facilities, it rates each location for Beauty/Interest and Protection. This is the guide you need to really cruise the Chesapeake Bay—a smorgasbord of small creeks and coves.
