Getting a little sick of loading up the station wagon and having boards take up the passenger side front seat, booms and mast near touching the glove box and a tub of wet suits, extensions, harness, vest, gps, fins etc all sliding around in the back. And a little over un-loading the whole show at the end of the day too. So, I was thinking of going down the modified box trailer route. I have safe, dry storage for one, and was hoping to load it with 3 boards and half a dozen sails plus the usual tub of bits and pieces. So if anyone has any ideas, tips or tricks (and some pictures) of how they set up there box trailer, I'd be happy to hear (and see) them.

About to buy a trailer, and was thinking a 6x4 gal model would be a good canvas to start with?

Ps- I reckon the enclosed ones look great, and probably are a great idea, but I'm thinking of keeping it nice and simple, and still have a usuable box trailor for very occasional tip run etc.

Cheers

I've just convinced myself to build a trailer to carry 'the' stuff around in. Presently just strap a short board and kit bag onto an old rusty trailer.

From the outset, I'm not a welder by trade but have welded bits-n-pieces on the present trailer to carry what i want at different stages.

I plan to buy a new trailer (6' x 4') with detachable front & back sides. Build a cage from steel tubing and attach it to the trailer.

Initial questions are:
- what size steel tubing would be suitable for constructing the frame?
- you know of any plans on the net that would be a good starting point?
- I'm not sure how to attach this frame to the trailer as yet, I remember reading a post here about it but now cannot find it

I was going to add to the post www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/Western-Australia/Windsurfing-Trailer/ but got a "Sorry, that topic is too old for replies - it's old news! Maybe start a new topic?"

Thanks for any advice
