The trailer gets winched under the boat without dragging the boat on the shingle, rocks or concrete. Easy to tow, I have towed it on the continent to the 'Med' several times An ideal dive boat and an ideal family fishing boat. I have supported up to 5 divers and gear on board Also ideal as a luxury tender for large yacht or cruiser Everything done to a very high standard and only small jobs yet to do. Would make an easy winter project A very cherished family boat but the kids have grown up and left and I am no longer fit enough to launch and retrieve it. I will be very sad to see it go.
