Attached is a old picture. A month ago, I modified the whole trailer to use a
Seitech dolly. I'll get a few pictures up tomorrow. I'll also get some picture
of how I lock the boat down to the trailer thought the Centerborad slot.
The trailer doubles as a flatbed trailer too, which is nice for someone
without a truck... Yes, it is homemade.
Reason for tool boxes is stone guard and storage.
Regards,
Keith Councell

Christian,
I contacted Stuart a few weeks ago and this was his response.
"Hi Ron, regrettably I recently came to the decision that it is no
longer financially practical to build trailers. The recent increases in
steel prices plus a really significant increase in the cost of
galvanizing have caused prices to be unrealistic. I continue to monitor
the situation, but presently am not accepting any orders Regards.
Stuart."
I've seen photo's of Keith's trailer and it looks custom built.
I've attached the photo's.
Hopefully Keith can supply additional info.
Ron

I think Bram forgot to tell you guys that you must carry a swift in an
enclosed trailer. I think its part of the class rules..
Anyway. Since I have a 505 as well, I am trying to utilize the
dolly/trailer system commonly used by 505 sailors. Here are some
pictures of one, which is made by a guy in Oregon. (Stuart Sinclair)

Argyll Custom Trailers
(Stuart's Trailers)

ecosse@xxxxxxxxxxx Stuart is making and
selling really nice single and double
galvanized trailers. These resemble the Rapide, and a Rapide trolley
fits on one, but have all US parts are appear to be more robust than the
Rapide trailers
Although that is a dobble trailer, he also makes single trailers.
To make the Seitech dolly work with the trailer, you must stabilize it,
with bars/tubes on each side, so
it becomes more triangular.
If I recall correctly, Keith Council has a custom trailer, where the
Seitech fits on, not sure who made it
or if he has any pictures.
