Hi Bill
I have built several trailers including a J24 trailer. It is a pretty easy job. I just need the dimensions. I can always drive to Niagara on the lake and measure the laser cradle there. I was just trying not to make the drive. The J trailer was a day project and about $1000 to build.

The next best place to order a new trailer is from the marine cradle shop just outside of Toronto. Check with them. Last i heard they built them new for $4500.

I am going op pick up hull No 182 in a couple of weeks and the deal for the trailer fell through. Can someone please measure up their trailer so I can fabricate one. I need to know the distance from the tongue to the keel. Placement and height of the posts. Any help would be appreciated. I was planning on sailing the Quebec open but this situation might make it tough for me to make it.

Mike
