Need Typhoon Trailer and cradle and advice

Post by Joyce Conlon »

I inherited my uncle's wonderful boat but don't know very much about it. I don't live near the sea so I need a trailer to haul it back and forth from my barn in Amherst, MA, at least seasonally. I don't want to spend a fortune. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Joyce, one option is buying a trailer from Triad. I talked with them last year and they make trailers to fit the typhoon. Price as i remember was around 2,000 and up. I think they are located in CT.
Another option is joining a club on the coast and store the boat there , summer and winter. There are many around boston, north and south) (You could probably due that for 1,000 or less per year with the typhoon) whatever you do, make sure you sail it. Its a beautiful boat and very sweet to sail...
