[Rhodes22-list] Triad Trailer brakes and adjustments

[Mary Lou Troy]

One of the trailers we had was made before 1998. The other was new 
2007. both had the same configurration: rollers on the crosspieces, 
vertical guides/stabilizers on either side of the keel (these guide 
the keel as the boat is loading onto the trailer) and bunks to carry 
most if not all of the weight of the boat. The bunks match the angle 
of the hull where it rests on the bunks - they are not on a swivel 
but they do bow out under the weight of the boat. . the keel guides 
are parallel to the keel for the first 4-6 ft and then flare out 
towards the out edges - actually separate pieces of wood to guide the 
boat to the center of the trailer.

I've attached a photo of Fretless on her trailer that shows the bunks 
fairly well. It's a large photo so you can blow it up and really take 
a look at it. If it doesn't come through, I'll send a smaller version 
and the larger one to you off list.

Fretless has the diamondboard centerboard and is a 1991 R22.
