Really enjoy the Slider video clips. You have a great sailboat for the shallow panhandle waters. I'd love to have a cat like yours ... just about perfect. (any trailing and launching clips?)
Thanks. Trailering Slider is pretty easy, since the hulls are flat-bottomed and sit on simple bunks. Raising the mast takes about 15 seconds, because the forestay is tensioned by a multipart Dyneema lanyard that leads back to a cleat on the forebeam. It's possible to sail away from the launch within 5 minutes of arrival. I put a couple of snapshots of Slider on her trailer on her site.
