Looking better and better with each post well done.

Da strap.  We've been working on the trailer also, a time consuming project of it's own as the trailor is from another boat.  Make fit, boat on, boat off, make fit, boat on, boat off, make fit, boat on, boat off, forever.  Still busy - pics of the finished product will be posted and discussed, well, when it's finished.

Thanks Kona, here's some more...

Side view.  That gunnel strip has also been sanded and varnished in the meantime.

Just my 2c but I would leave more of a loop between the cable tie and the main fixing pos ...

 

[Willemossel]

Me inspecting something...

 

[Willemossel]

2c Taken, explain bigger loop?

 

[Kona]

Only problem I see with the trailer is that the boat is sitting very high so you are going to need to get it any very deep to launch and recover. Not sure but that is the impression I get from the photo.

 

[lurker69]

THe chain between the cable tie and the actual point where the chain is fixed to the anchor needs to have a big enough loop so that when youre trying to pull it it puts all the pressure on teh cable tie to break it , as you have it now the small amount of excess chain will be taken up nefore ecxerting enough pressure on teh cable tie and you can end up trying to pull the anchor "straight" instead of in reverse as all the pressure (depending on your angle of pull or reef holding the chain) because the cable tie wont break easily... The loop needs to be big enough so that even if youre pulling "straight" the cable tie will still break ...

It was even higher.  That's why we fitted smaller (15inch) tyres and the extending boom, approx. 2 meters, will check measurements.
