The mast seems to project an awfully long way forward. In the days of lamposts at the edge of the pavement (called the kerb) I managed to put a very nice bend in a GP14 mast while doing a 5-point turn in a narrow street. I should just have unhitched, but didn't.
What a dick...

I remember we removed a few branches in nice tree lined French high streets when joining from a T junction.

As a trailer sailor I tow every time I go sailing, mostly around the SE UK but we've taken her down to Croatia as well. Pretty much everything has already been said on here, get the set-up right and don't rush things. Regarding the comments about travelling at night that's fine on motorways and dual carriageways but it's a nightmare on single roads as people just don't appreciate how wide you are, even with loads of marker lights and reflective markings. The only thing to do is go down to sidelights when you see them coming and slow right down. Fortunately for me trimarans may look big but they're relatively light so I've usually got more control than most other drivers think...... Incidentally invest in a cheap IR heat measurement gun off Ebay, they are brilliant for checking the tyres, hubs and brakes every time you stop which will give you early warning of any problems.
