You also have the advantage of having a utility trailer when you need one. Picture of the trailer is below. Lots of room for blades, sail and spars Close up of front corner showing 2 x 6 support with foam padding. The gunwale sits on the blue foam. The small block on top is to prevent the boat moving forward under sudden braking.
All wood is screwed and glued prior to painting.
Three 8 ft. Get some good waterproof woodworking glue and screw and glue the four pieces together to make the box. I used the front ones and middle side ones to locate the box on the trailer. If you check the pictures you will see two 1 x 4's at the front of the box and two on the side just ahead of the wheels. Screw and glue the four pieces of 1 x 4 in onto the box while the box is on the trailer.
