Yeah, I'm really boxed in on the garage thing. I had figured I'd put the rudders down/vertical once in the garage - pictures I've seen seem to show that adding about a foot of overall length. Then the trailer tongue is the big problem. The pulley idea is a good one - but I wouldn't be able to open the garage door. Could you crank a typical cat up further towards the front of the trailer for storage (not while on the road), so the tip of the hulls were even with the trailer hitch point?

There is seriously a back window dead center with the garage bay. The sill is probably 2' off the ground. As crazy as it sounds, I'm tempted have that trailer tongue stick out that back window.

I just need to see something in person with tape measure in hand. As if to further tease me, there's a Prindle 16' in the want ads now... everything I'm reading seems to indicate that this might be a great solo boat. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
