Keels
on Wheels specialise
in building trailers for Flying Fifteens, Sonatas, Dragons and
a double stacker dinghy trailer with storage box. We can make
any custom designed trailer to suit your needs.
All
our trailers include the following: |
|
|
Fully
hot dipped galvanised steel |
|
|
All
Welding carried out by qualified welders |
|
|
Indespension
suspension units and running gear |
|
|
Radial
tyres |
|
| The
design has been developed over 15 years from personal
Fifteen trailing experience as well as listening to
our customer feedback. We believe it to be the best
all round Flying Fifteen trailer around. |
| It
features: |
|
 |
|
|
| Construction: |
| Robust,
fully hot dipped galvanised frame built from 2"
box section steel. |
| All
welding is carried out by fully qualified welders. |
| |
|
| Suspension,
Mudguards & Steps |
| All
our trailers use the highly rated Indespension
suspension units. |
| The
steel mudguards are galvanised steel, strong enough
for the heaviest of crew to stand on, thus eliminating
the need for a step. |
| However,
we can supply a bolt on step for shorter legs, as shown
here! |
|
|
 |
| Low
Centre of Gravity |
| The
keel support is low slung as a standard on modern trailers,
facilitating better towing and easier launching and
recovery. |
|
| Space
to get round trailer and open back doors |
| There is sufficient space between the
front support and the tow hitch to allow for opening
of back doors on almost all vehicles, including 4*4's.
There is also sufficient room to walk between the car
and the boat, surprisingly rare in boat trailers |
|
 |
 |
| Simpler
Rudder fitting |
| The jockey wheel is designed so that
it can be fully retracted under the trailer, allowing
the bow to be fully dropped. This makes fitting the
rudder easier |
|
| Hull
Support |
For
those who insist on additional hull support, risking
damage the hull and get spinnaker sheets caught when
launching and recovering, we can fit a hull support.
We do not recommned it!
The
hull is already well supported by the strong box section
uprights. These are deliberately deeper than our competitors
to prevent damage when launching and recovering in
a swell or on a steep slip.

|
 |
| |
|
|
| We
manufacture a range of other keelbot trailers, including
those for Sonatas and Dragons. Features include: |
- Heavy
steel box section, hot dipped galvanised
-
Braked wheel units
-
Indespension Suspension units
-
Adjustable supports for the hull
-
Heavily reinforced keel support

Double
Stacker Box Trailer
Our
double stacker with an 8' * 4' storage box is ideally suited
for such classes as the Laser, Topper and Mirror 10.
Great
when you've got all the family and kit to pack away! |
