Alright, good news first. I have decided on a name for my boat. She will be known as Cassandra. I don't know where the name came from, but it sounds mysterious and adventurous enough for this boat.
So right now I have three possible trailers. One is for an O'day 23 but should work. That one is in Florida. One is available in NY, but is contingent on the sale of the boat on it. And there is a third possible trailer in Florida that may or may not ever materialize. At the moment I am debating whether or not I even need a trailer. Yes, it would be nice to have one, but is it necessary? I have quotes to have Cassandra moved to my home for under $900, and if I can do that and work on her for the summer I wouldn't need a trailer for a while.
Of course to get to the root of this dilemma I have to figure out exactly how and why I would use a trailer. The original idea was that I could transport the boat from Campbell to wherever I would keep the boat on the trailer. This would save a bit on shipping and a lot on storage fees. Also, it would allow me to launch the boat when I had time and finished some of the work and I could practice sailing a keelboat, and test my repairs. I think I'm going to wait a while before accepting any bids to move the boat, just in case a trailer becomes available. The 23 trailer looks promising though.
What would you do?
