    Going on the trailer

    Here is what I've been trying to find the time to do for a while...

    It was painful to see the little boat mastless... I was not very eager to take it out of the water. This Commander wants to be sailed. This owner is having a hard time finding the time... As you may have read on this board, I've moved from SF to Hawaii, (which greately disliked) then I went to Australia for a while, (which I always enjoy) and now I find myself in LA... (Huh?)

    In any case, I hope to free up the trailer in order to hopefully make it available for transporting other Ariels and Commanders needing wheels. If you are in need please shoot me an e-mail.

    I know of the Commander for sale here in the area.

    I do not think I can adopt another boat so I hope that someone here is able to save it...

    I saw it and it looked like a very solid Commander. The interior is spartan, but it is good basic shape. I am very interested in its 180 Genoa if the buyer wants to make it available...

    More details soon. As soon as I get a bit of time, I will post the construction data for the trailer as fabricated as well as details on the progress.

    in the yard...

    The work is progressing smoothly as could be expected...
    I hoped to take more pictures, but I was short-handed at the boatyard and quite busy to get everything ready for the trip...

    Finally ready to roll

    After assembling the mast carrier and building the rear mast support.

    All the bits lashed and secured...

    Good news! It seems to have made the initial run in one piece...

    For details on the trailer's design and notes on how to have one built see post #11

    Going out...

    My Commander is till in the dry and I've had the itch to go sailing!

    Notice that there was no-one else out in San Pablo bay on this day... you can see the whitecaps up the bay (North San francisco Bay) It was a great sail...

    This is the only picture I have of C-155 sailing (that is not taken from onboard the boat, that is...)
