Has anybody got a Laser 2000/Vago trailer in their garden that they can measure the width of? I need to know how wide it is as it's widest point. Ta |

| at a guess it's a standard West Mersea 275 road base isn't it? Possibly a 250? |

About 6ft 3 ish. We managed to get the Vareo, on a WM250 over a 6"6 bridge with about an inch on each side spare. So if its a 250, which it probably will be, it'll be about that wide. I dont think the 270s are wider, just longer? ------------- Vareo - 149 "Secrets" http://www.TandyUKServers.co.uk" rel="nofollow - TandyUK Servers |

6ft 3in would be good. We've a gap between some railings to get access to the back garden. |

the only difference between the 250 and 275 is length the width is the same just don't end up with the towcar looking like this... http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3105304 - http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3105304 ------------- http://www.blym.org.uk/ - BLYM http://www.blym.org.uk/hydrs/index.htm - Hertfordshire Sailing team Uk-Cherub 2644 Laser 4000 -4089 |

I think it will be a 250 wm trailer, 250 is what 400's 300's sit on, 275 things like 5k's and boss fit on! ------------- |

No of course not! Just working out all my options! It does seem though that I could get a monohull into the garden which swings the balance a little - ignoring the knee thing. |

My Laser 2000 and Vareo both use the West Mersea 250 trailer base. This fits through the 6` 6" defined gap approaching the sailing club - with less than an inch on either side.... |
