No Trailer Needed

A friend recently sent along this picture that he took of a 4.8 while at a regatta this past summer. Believe it or not we have seen several sailing programs transport their 4.8's this way. By loading the support boat onto the truck, it allows the team to trailer their fleet of Opti’s or Laser’s behind the truck at the same time. A RIB, naturally being lighter than a hard sided boat, makes this option possible and at 15'7" the 4.8 is the ideal size.
