More of a trailer design challenge?

[rebar]

I was planning to flatpack one down to Cabo in the back of my truck and knock it together on the beach to be used as a support vessel for a kayak trip on the Sea of Cortez. Trip got cancelled.

I cant even wrap my head around this..

A 24' Laguna open sailboat was flatpacked down to the Texas Coast some years ago from the Pacific NW. Boat was slapped together with PL Premium and screws, sailed the 200 miles to Magnolia Beach and then burned. Those were the days ;-)

Reading Loctite PL Marine Fast Cure sets in 2 - 4 hours. Did you seal with penetrating marine oils?

I'm trying to understand why the forum suggests wood, when expensive boats are composite construction.

But I'm not convinced in the below example. Isn't that a mold for a fiberglass hull? Looks like he uses structural foam for the remainder of the build though..

Thanks!

Launching without even getting your tires wet is common here. Put wide rollers on the back edge of the trailer, this allows you to push it off easily even onto dry ground, then winch it back on rather easily too. So water depth isn't important. Look at drift boat trailers.

I was just a spectator on this particular adventure.
