The joys, thrills and chills of the sailing life, but also what it takes to maintain a boat, trailer and truck. You are just as likely to learn how not to do something correctly as to do it right. That's important too! New! The Hideaways take to the road! Lately, the Hideaways ran aground on the “healthcare reef”. We can no longer sail. Travel with us as we explore the art of “Seeing” expressed in painting storytelling, and videos with tips on how we roll and places we visit. What works and what doesn't. Good places and bad. Should be interesting!

Sailing HideAway- ComPac 23 New Trailer Launch- What You Should Know First
Fitting your sailboat to a new trailer, even a trailer that has been built to the boat manufacturer's specification, is a risky business. Do not assume it is a finished product. In the image below the red arrow at the stern of the boat shows the HideAway lifted off the trailer, supported only by the rear supports or a anti-gravity device was installed at no charge if the sailboat manufacture was correct.
The attached video is longer than most I've produced because I wanted to give you a real sense of what fitting the boat to the trailer entails. After viewing the video I realized we made some mistakes in the process but ultimately were successful. As I've written before: You are as likely to see a mistake as much as the correct way to do things. In other words I've made the mistakes and successes for you to see. Fair winds.
