What this video covers
Kent Blair works out how to redistribute gear between a car and a Sunfish-and-kayak trailer rig to free up back-seat space for additional passengers. Currently, the rudder, daggerboard, PFDs, towels, beach chairs, cushions, a cordless tire inflator, and paddles all ride in the car; the dolly breaks down and goes inside as well.0:02 He plans to lash the dolly on top of the Sunfish using existing tie-down straps, eliminating one bulky item from the car.0:31 The mast, spar, sail, and spar bag already travel on the rig.0:51 For the paddles, he proposes sewing a simple paddle bag and securing it to the trailer using the tail end of an existing strap.0:59 The daggerboard and rudder could go in a bag strapped to the deck or tucked between the two boats.1:51 The core problem is that folding down the back seat for extra passengers requires clearing all the gear currently stored there.
