[Rhodes22-list] Traveling with motor mounted.

[Theodore Boender]

Richard,

I noticed you strapped your boat down. I did not for my trip home to Boston. Do most trailer sailers use tie downs?  It looks like you would get some serious rubbing on the gel coat from the straps. Good padding would be key.

Good luck with launch day!

Ted
