[Rhodes22-list] Trailering Checklist?

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Joe,
One other tip if it's not in the owners manual. Get yourself a bunch 
of pieces of scrap carpet and use it to pad everything, We put pieces 
under the corners of the poptop, around the bundle of shrouds and 
stays where it passes under the poptop to be stored on the galley 
counter, under the mast where it rests on the bow pulpit and 
especially wherever anything rubs up against sunbrella. For long 
distance trailering we take the outboard and rudder off but we do 
leave the bimini on (folded up and lashed down to the handrails on 
the cabin top.

I do have an old picture of the boat all wrapped up and loaded to go. 
I'll hunt it up and post it later.
