Can anyone give me any advice on towing a 2000kg bilge keeler on a trailer?
I'm not thinking so much about the legal weight limits, towcar requirements etc. as I can look those up. More about positioning the boat fore and aft on the trailer - should it be balanced or have a loading on the tow bar?
When towing a caravan the advice is that to maximise towing stability (and stop the van snaking) the tow hitch should exert around 7% of the weight of the van on the towbar. But boats are heavier and a bit more streamlined than caravans and I'm wondering what others have found or what the advice is when towing a boat?
I'm looking for a suitable trailer and am not quite sure what I'm looking for. Obviously it needs to have the weight bearing capacity and I'm expecting it to be a 4-wheeled job.
