As a twoleaf spring, it could be described as a 500kg rating, and that’s plenty for a boat where its fi xed weight is known. The springs come with three leaves, for a 750kg rating, but I have taken one leaf off because I feel that the springs are too heavy. The way I have built this design is up to warrant standard. If you want to travel on a public road you have to get it warranted, of course. The smaller wheels would be good enough, and would be okay if you were going only from bach to beach, or not very far. You could go to wheelbarrow hubs and wheels if you want to – the boat the trailer will carry is fairly light. This arrangement is better than a lip seal, because the water pressure comes on the rubber seal and closes it effectively. Rubber is better for boat trailers because of the contact with water. You could use standard hubs or other, different hubs, but I’ve used marinised hubs that include a rubber seal in the kit to stop water getting in.

TRAILERING AN OLD WOOD RUNABOUT FULL
When the trailer has been fi nished and assembled I do a full weld on everything I tack-welded. The main beam / drawbar is 50x50mm RHS of 5mm thick steel – you don’t want the bar bending because at 3.6 metres it is fairly long.įollowing normal practice, I tack-weld the parts fi rst, moving through the whole trailer to ensure that it is all square and all the measurements agree. The mudguards are welded directly onto the side rails. The cross members are made of 50x50mm angle iron, and the side rails of the frame are 40x40mm RHS. The material is all steel, although the construction is plain and, in total, not too heavy. Otherwise you have to fi x lights on metal arms on either side at the back, and that can limit the width of the boat you can get in. That’s the best way to keep the construction simple. When you want to travel on the road, the rear lights number plate and Warrant of Fitness sticker can be placed on a light board strapped to the back of the boat. The trailer will run easily from bach to beach.
I imagine a boat having an overhang at the back of 200mm or 300mm – the exact distance doesn’t matter. The winch post at the front is also fi xed to the beam by U-bolts and can be adjusted for the position of the boat bow. The frame which holds the chine rollers and supports the axle, springs and wheels, is secured to the main beam by U-bolts, and can be shifted between two keel rollers to adjust for the different sizes of boat. It is supported by chine rollers at the back, and is very secure when strapped down. The boat sits on keel rollers on the main beam drawbar, and above the mudguards. You can adapt this economical design, but componentry is not cheap, so keep it simple if you want it to remain as affordable as possible. It is suitable for a dinghy, tinny, Parkercraft or even your children’s yacht.
