Lift Keel trailer – CG

22nd February 2005

I have to modify my 4 wheel trailer to take my lift keel Sonata and I need to know where the centre of gravity is with the keel up, in relation to the front lower corner of the keel structure so that I can position the boat with the correct noseweight (around 50Kg). Does anyone have the information? Alternatively if you have a LK sonata sitting nicely on a 4 wheel trailer can you let me know the horizontal distance between the front of the keel and the mid point of the wheel centres?

I should be very grateful as it will save me having to balance the boat on a pivot!

Thanks.
