ST. JACQUES has a new trailer, a galvanized EZ Loader with 12 inch tires. Double leaf spring. We added 2 keel rollers an a pad on the back of the box frame to spread out the load on the keel, where most of the weight is carried. Also added pads under the centerboard in case it gets loose for some reason.
Oil bath bearings, new to us. They are supposed to go longer between oil changes than greased bearings, we'll see how it goes.
Swivel bunks primarily keep the boat from listing, not really load bearing, but we had them adjusted to where they touch the hull on the plank lap, which also has an internal stringer behind it. 1 1/4 inch hull thickness there vs just 1/4 inch on the plank.
Plenty of tongue, should be easy to launch. 2 inch coupler and swivel jack.
