What this video covers
A 5x10 Carry-On utility trailer accommodates an Alcourt Sunfish Wave with sufficient clearance, though the trailer size prevents opening the boat's hatch while loaded.0:02 To secure the boat, the dolly attaches to the trailer frame with straps run aft to prevent forward movement, while additional lines secure the bow to the trailer frame and the tongue to the center post.0:50 Vintage Sunfish sheets with clips serve as tie-downs for transport.2:51 For long-distance hauling, securing the bow handle directly to the dolly provides extra stability against forward shifting during stops.1:39 The setup allows for loading gear into the vehicle before securing the boat on the trailer.1:57 Once at the destination, the boat rolls off the trailer ramp for rigging.4:06 The owner stores the Sunfish in a shed alongside a Penobscot and a Sailfish, using a hoist system constructed from sheets, blocks, and cleats to right the boat for storage.4:23
