Here's hopefully a photo of the rear support- note the cat wheels are used as the rear "cradles" when loading the boat (actually I place the wheels under the rear beam and tie off, lift the boat by one bow and wheel to the trailer- load the bows on the front cradles then walk to back of boat, lift boat and wheels and slide boat up until the front beam touches it's "cradles" and set the wheels down in their "cradles", then go forward and lift boat slightly and pull forward so front beam supports boat. Then place rear mast step which also traps wheels, untie wheels and use a line to lace rear beam up to mast stand. Mast is lowered over the front into telescoping mast stand utilizing mainsheet blocks to assist in lowering.)
