Does anybody considered or even build already trailer box to carry complete sail with mast on ?
I have very light trailer from my 16 ft catamaran that I could use.
I am thinking now about very light aluminum frame plus thin aluminum walled box to carry complete sail or even two.
Specifically the bigger sail is quite time consuming ( 9.8m2) to setup but that means that box needed two be even 1 meter longer.
In such case completer box should be approx 5.5 m long and 2.7 m wide.
Did somebody try to carry completer sails ? Maybe in the longer van or on top of the ute ?
Or this is completely impractical IYO ?

I've seen it. can't remember who it was. maybe steve allen or leo sharpe not sure, it was one of the families in qld that raced.

the sails are loaded in with the mast on the floor and the boom standing vertical. the shape of the trailer followed the outline of the leach of the sail and then went straight at the rear to allow you to walk into the trailer but still reduce the aerodynamic drag.

that's the biggest issue other than parking. the cost of towing it around because of drag. also what are the registration limitations?

Have you thought about tying it to a balloon and just tethering the balloon to your car?

Not very helpful, but that is your style
