Towbar mounted bike rack

I've recently bought a NEW car and so don't really fancy putting my bike rack on the back as it doesn't seem to matter how tightly you adjust the straps it will always mark the paint. The option of having a roof rack to mount the bikes is an expensive one as the car is so new you have to buy the parts from Vauxhaul and they are ridiculous.

Just seen THIS seems very good value and can possibly tow the boat behind at the same time (depending on the mast and mast support).

What do people think, have people tried this product or anything similar?

I have a Witter towbar bike carrier and it works fine for 1-2 bikes. Starts getting wobbly with more.

My Wife and i were looking for something like that for Asbersoch Dinghy week.  Do the bikes or the rack foul the mast support or boat at all??

hi
we towed one boat had a laser on the roof and had a 2 bikes on the back all the way to salcombe, we live in yorkshire. It can be done and generally the racks/bikes doesnt foul up the mast. You just have to be prepared to stop every so often to check strapping which you should be doing with your boat anyway.

We use that bike rack when towing boats and without.

Works perferctly fine with a boat and 3 bikes.

We have towed flying fifteens, Lasers and double trailers without problems

However, we did have to weld an extension piece onto the trailers so that the mast supports didnt foul the bars when turning tight corners.

Its a good bike rack, quick and simple to use
