Road Trailer Hire

We are thinking of taking part in Cowes Week next year, but we do not own a road trailer. Does anyone have one that they would not mind renting to us about that time?

why not sail it around if your on the east coast if not and no luck with a sonata trailer you can hire a flat bed and winch the cradle on to it very cheap and very safe

Sailing it round would require too long off work.

The flat-bed sounds a good idea though.

yeah that is a problem work and sailing dont mix well, but the flat bed trailer is great we purchased our sonata fom falmouth and hired a flat bed and brought it back from falmouth to the medway it was very safe but it does requre a large car or van to pull it we used a 2.3 diesal vw van which was very good but a 4×4 would be just as good,

il try and dig the information of the compny we hired our trailer off and will forward it to you,
