You would think all sealed cavities on planes would be vacuums where strong enough and helium elsewhere.

If you think a Blaze is heavy, try helping with a YW Dayboat - just the centreboard (9.5mm steel) weighs as much as some boats and the total weight without trolley is minimum 204.3 kilos. Makes even the Albacore a lightweight in comparison!

Admiral Trailers Phantom trolley
The combination of open box sections and solid wheels means it sinks. Works a treat at Lee on Solent SC 2019 
No I don't work for them just please with my purchase.

Trident say their Laser Trolley is 26kg.

That Optiparts trolley sounds like the biz for a Streaker (you could probably shorten it and make it lighter still!).  I've seen Admiral steel Streaker trolleys being sold at £295, i.e. dearer.

Does anybody have experience of the Optiparts alu trolley?
