Trailex lifetime? My 1978 Trailex is under my new A cat. It has seen 28 years of regular racing (TheMightyHobie18 and H20) and STILL looks GOOOOD despite salty spray and beach-drift mist. Note- it was always washed on Sunday night after each of many ocean regattas. And my back says- thank you very much!
PS: I towed it with a Hobie 18 to the lake a couple of times with my 40 horse VW Karmann Ghia- 53 mph on the straight!

A-class USA 196, USA 21, H18, H16
