Another example of German trailer engineering:

On the Skiffbenelux circuit someone has proven it is possible to build a sub 750 kg enclosed trailer that is large enough to hold an RS800 - this would be the other book end I guess.

As someone who's just about to pay for a spanking new Finn for the boy, I can assure you that the trailer is cheaper!

My extensive experience of cheap crap lighting boards suggests that it's most often the plug and socket that fails. Sadly that won't have been solved by my buying one of these but at least (I hope) dodgy bulb connections should be a thing of the past......

If nothing else that Hit trailer certainly seems to nail the perennial cheap crap lighting board issues we have to deal with from time to time usually when it is raining cats and dogs

The Germans and Dutch are all over the trailer engineering. I guess driven partly by their far stricter laws on trailers they look at our ratters with some distain. It's not a new thing by any means, I remember 40 years ago in farming while we were still dragging converted horse carts down the road behind tractors they had brakes and lights!!!!

I'm sure it doesn't meet the boat cost vs trailer cost criteria but I saw a German Finn sailor with a caravan with a tailgate on it. The tail gate lowered, his Finn rolled out then he lowered the double bed from the ceiling hydraulically. The kitchen and washroom were at the front of the caravan with some settees. A beautiful bit of kit!

Years ago, wasn't there a bloke with a moth, who put a couple of rails into his van, so the moth just slotted in, held by its wings?
I can't imagine what you'd do with one of those Hit trailers at venues like Lyme Regis?
Which is also a place I've valued having the good old road base under the trolley while everything's tied down overnight.
