What's the cheapest way to move 5-10 boats? And their crews?
WF Oliver has a trailer that moves 6 boats, assembled. Its set up for HT's but the A cat guys used it to move A cats and I'm sure it would move F16s.
We batted around the idea of buying a 25ft enclosed box trailer and dividing the costs up 6-8 ways. So each person puts in 2k and you can easily move boats to regattas. This would work nicely for the F16's. If you dissassemble them, you could fit more boats, but its an extra hour to assemble them and put on the tramp once you get to your regatta.
Think about it if you dont have to buy your own trailer, you save between $750 and $1500 on a trailer. THis only really works if you dont have to trailer your boat to sail it during the season.
If you did work this out with a group, you could split up the expenses of the trailor and the driving.
