Finally got the TI out, thanks to new trailer

Post by cybertrouts »

Well it's been a long time coming but I picked up my new trailer this week for the TI so I can transport it properly (and legally). Previously using roof racks was very problematic, and I couldn't launch by myself.

Now I can !!

The extra bar across the top is so I can put the two Outback's, stacked upon one another, on the trailer as well so we can travel with 3 yaks accommodating 4 people.

Safety Beach was the destination on Saturday

And one very daggy video, uploaded while on the go so unedited etc. (and yes, don't worry about the toenail polish)



Overall there wasn't enough wind to really fire it up, and the 10 minutes I threw around a squid jig produced nothing, but I was more interested in being out having a sail than in the fishing.
It's busy out there - so many toys !!

Hi Steve
It's the Hobie trailer.
Picked it up from Scott Lovig.
It's over 5m long from memory and I have the Hobie cradles added for the TI (and the exta rails also)
Registration was cheap enough but had to wait nearly a week to get an appointment at VicRoads :cry:
Overall, trailer rocks!
Cheers,
Haydn
