Tiki 26 winching on trailer

[Johnny Martin]

Hi all - I am modifying my trailer (lowering the bed) so I can winch my tiki up a ramp with rollers when the hulls are lashed together - anyone know approximately the width of keels when hulls are lashed together.

my guess is it will be 4'  (as hulls are 4')

anyone done any winching up  a trailer ramp

That should be about right.  I allow a gap of about an inch between the gunwales on mine so you don't get any chafe, and use lengths of 4 x 2 lashed on as temporary beams.

thank you - i forgot i put motorbike tyres between hulls so need to allow for them!
