Default publication HOWTO build trailer for a large sailboat ?

I have the lowboy/tractor,.... suggestions as to how to build the cradle
and where to get the jackstand w/swivel pads would be appreciated.

Appreciatively,

Courtney

Find a reasonably good shape 46' Fontaine double drop box beam lowboy,
rip out the center bed and weld in a cradle for the keel and some
jackstands with ball swivel pads. Not cheap but it would be a lot
cheaper than starting from scratch.

You would still need a travellift to launch.

By large I mean 40' or more.
