Trailer for my 1:12 tamar
« on: July 01, 2012, 09:22:40 pm »

i am almost ready to launch my tamar as our pond is a way from the car park i was wondering in getting a trailer to transport my model to the pond.
Do any one on here use one and if so are they home made or a kit

We did a thread on trailers not so long ago. Try the search engine.

I use an old secondhand golfing trolley, especially as it folds u after use.  I simply made a wooden carry fram to hold the boat, then used some web straps to secure the cradle to the trolley, so you can wheel the boat to wherever you want, the wheelbase is sufficiently wide enough to go over quite rough ground and you can then simply release the carry straps and lift the cradle off and use it poolside .

Checkout the one my mate Robert built for his Severn at the bottom of this page.

I used the same idea with the golf trolley but took the fittings off and fastened a board on the frame fitted an handle and leg so it stands straight and folds away under the board.
the board can be addopted so it can be used for my other boats
I bought a new boys trolley for £7 from JJB Sports
