John W has been awesome in helping us get everything set up on charter boats, replacement masts, and general support! Rick Bliss has been instrumental in helping secure all the needed parts to get our boats back in one piece, and Jack Young is doing all he can as well to execute this. Here on the east coast, Barry Moore loaned us his trailer to carry the doublestack. A true testament to how awesome this cat sailing community really is.
the trailer had a set of anti-sway/ weight distribution bars set up. It was actually at the attachment site to the trailer tongue/ frame that the frame of the trailer bent. The sway bars and weight distribution set up were totally fine and stopped the trailer from crushing into the back of the van.
When the Zelmers get there, make sure they are very well lubricated with booze that first night.... they deserve it and are going to need it!
