4.7 T
RAILERING
Due to the nature of the hull, catamarans require specialized trailers. Your dealer will be able to provide them, as well
as, information on safe trailering practices. Tow vehicles should be rated to handle the load and stresses which
accompany trailering your boat. A properly matched trailer should carry 5-10% of the total vessel weight on the
tongue. Routine inspections should be performed on the vehicle and trailer prior to each trip, and thorough checks
scheduled on an annual basis.
