Martin Riddle writes: 'When the LBT was
thinking of buying Capricornia, as part of the agreement Piet offered to
do a few improvements to make the trailer even more of an asset for the
LBT. Early in March he put the modified trailer to the test during the
launch of this hefty yacht at Cygnet. The improvements include a
four-wheel dolly at the front to assist with maneuvering the trailer, a
long draw bar to allow the towing vehicle to remain well away from the
water while launching and adjustable cradle arms to accommodate a
variety of hull shapes and sizes. Thanks Piet – the practical ingenuity
of our members never fails to amaze.' We have recently spoken to Piet, and look forward to using the trailer to put our whaleboats to bed for winter. |
