With much appreciated help from Johnny and Paul. Over the less hot Tasmanian winter I decided a windsurfing trailer was in order.

Time over again I would start from scratch to avoid the massive calculations necessary to put a square box on what seemed at times to be a round trailer.
Spent the first few weeks replacing running gear and re enforcing then out and up ;)

Result holds 15 sails, 10 masts, 7 boards inside, 6 boards outside, 10 booms, bags of gear. Also included a deep cycle battery to run LED lighting and allow for all important GPS charging.

Hidden a bed up the front because a "camper trailer" is cheaper on the boat.

Thanks again to Paul and Johnny.

That was a job I wouldn't of liked to take on. Not being able to weld probably counted me out anyway. So when's the next trip? I hope you're going further than Lagoon Bay!!!!!

Yep, 3 road trips planned in the next 6 months, one including a salty lake on the big island
