I am making up a way to put my tiger mast on my trailer. I never had to move the boat before but now I am moving to a populated area. What I am thinking is to make a post on the hitch arm (whatever it's called) that has a bit of a lean towards the aft on top and putting a u shaped holder on top for the mast. Will probably put a winch there also for ginpoling the mast up.
I have three questions...
First, how much overhang rear of the boat is OK?
Second, any clever ways of resting the mast on the rear of the boat? and
Third, how much should the mast be above the rear of my vehicle on straight ground?
