Transfering a sailboat from trailer to stands
Make the stands the same height as the trailer so they barely fit under the
boat. Remove most of the air from the trailer tires, then drive away. When you want to reverse the process, put the trailer back under the stands, then fill the tires until you start to relieve the pressure on the stands. Obviously, you want to be careful to get everything right before you try it. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com wrote in message ups.com... I would like to transfer a Pearson26 (draws 5400 lbs) from a trailer to jack stands. I'm only getting temporary use of the trailer, so I will have to get it on jack stands. Has anyone or anyone you know performed this seemingly superhuman feat without the use of a helicopter or crane? Thanks. |

Any way you do it, there will be clearance problems removing
the trailer. "Capt. JG" wrote Make the stands the same height as the trailer so they barely fit under the boat. Remove most of the air from the trailer tires, then drive away.

Why? All you need is a couple of inches. We didn't have any problems.

It's a small boat, they should be able to crank the stands
up enough to move the trailer. Seahag "Capt. JG" wrote in message ... Make the stands the same height as the trailer so they barely fit under the boat.
