Title: Transporting a Yacht.
Post by: BreezyB on April 27, 2008, 05:12:59 pm

I'm about to complete my first yacht which has prompted me to ask:-
(a) As it just fits into my car fully rigged,  do I need to "de rig" for transportation?
(b) Is it OK to lay it down provided I support everything?
(c) When not in use or in transport, should the shrouds/stays etc be slackened off?.
Many thanks,
Barrie.
