[Rhodes22-list] Triad Trailer brakes and adjustments

[Mary Lou Troy]

Really? We've had two Triad trailers - both built for General Boats 
and to their specifications. One was an older painted trailer, the 
other a newer galvanized trailer.  On each, the keel/centerboard (a 
"diamond board") rested lightly on the roller (which also helped 
swing the centerboard up when loading the boat) but the weight of the 
boat rested mostly on the bunks. Never noticed any deformation in the hull.
