[Rhodes22-list] Minimum Door height?

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

John,

Likely you'll have a single axle trailer.  This could give you added flexibility.  You can lift the mast from the boat and store on saw-horses.  If the stern is backed in, you could detach from the tow, lower the bow wheel fully, and I bet have room to spare so you can push inside fully.  Once inside you could crank it up again.  Good luck and Happy Sailing!


Chow,
Art
