Thanks Paul,
The Yacht is a '1985 Jouet 760', It does look a lot bigger when out of the water.
The Caravan is a '2002 Elite Wayfarer'. |

| I've always though boats look unstable on a trailer like that, does it move around a lot towing? Are you a Caravan Club member? |

1) I've only towed the boat once as this was the first time out of the water since purchase. I covered about 60 miles with no problems, although I was a little scared for the first 5 or 6 miles.
2) Yes, CC & CCC. |

I am CC member. I'll keep an eye out for you - with that boat though you would be difficult to spot miss!
See you on a club site somewhere! |

I remember one of the most surreal motorway moments of my life when I saw a huge yacht in the fast lane of the M6 near birmingham. Nearby was a swb Shogun with the rear wheels in the air. It was obviously too much boat!
Either that or they should have got a Trooper lwb! I wonder if they called the AA out...

Put her back in the water about a month ago.
Only 35 mile trip this time to Ipswich.
Outfit towed beautifully on A14 and normal A roads provided 50mph was not exceeded ( slight sway above this speed ). |
